The Minneapolis DFL machine has been the total
domination of the council, supported by neighborhood
"activists," funded by the NRP, which in turn was supported
by a DFL legislature.
A couple of years ago I told Dore Mead that the election
of Venture signaled the displease of the electorate with
the DFL. At the time she disagreed. I don't think that
anyone (including me) could have predicted the success
of the Green Party in the primary. I hope with all my
heart that these changes will also be reflected in the
new council. This city has been run under a one party
system for far too long. Power corrupts, absolute
power...
