Slight correction re: unions screening Mpls candidates. Eva Young wrote: "However as I understand it, the Mayor screened for AFSCME and MAPE endorsement. So did the City Council candidates."
MAPE is the Minnesota Association of Professional Employees, of which I am a member. MAPE and AFSCME Council 6 were on strike against the state. MAPE did not screen city council candidates, and I doubt if they screened mayoral candidates, as they do not get into local races (only state) as I was told by the legislative director. Eva may mean MPEA, the Minneapolis Professional Employees Association, which did screen city council and mayoral candidates.
