According to the Strib, Paul Ostrow and Lisa McDonald praise him. http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/711932.html Also, NRP adopts stricter conflict-of-interest rules. "The policy also prohibits insiders from taking advantage of advance knowledge. It applies to board members, officers, committee chairpersons, employees and contractors of neighborhood associations, and it applies to their relatives and others in their households. ... The rules require disclosure of actual or potential conflicts and prohibit gifts from anyone in connection with business before the Policy Board or neighborhood associations. Those covered by the rules may participate in Neighborhood Revitalization programs, such as loans, if they follow steps under which the organization formally waives the conflict." http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/711913.html David Brauer List manager Let's get back to local issues! _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
