When an individual is inattentive to the point of repeatedly misspelling a personal proper name that only contains four letters, I can be rather tolerant, but I don't necessarily expect much of value in terms of that person's opinions. However, that was not the case in regard to L. Hogan's message, Mpls digest, Vol 1 #512, Message: 6. I found that a part of L's (Larry's? Lenore's? Lucille's? Leonard's?)* comments was quite valuable because it became part of the inspiration for my message, "Real estate tax increases and unaffordable housing.".
In some situations, tolerance may not be a good quality. I really don't think that we should be tolerant of a city government that is not representing its residents properly, including whatever L? has in mind. L? should realize that if the City of Minneapolis is errant in one significant area of responsibility, it is apt to be errant in other ways. If we tolerate what might be considered misfeasance in one area of responsibility we should probably expect misfeasance elsewhere. All residents need to pull together and hold the line on all mis/malfeasance for the well-being of all of us. And we should not "spoil" the City of Minneapolis by personally doing the work that we have already paid the City to do. To do so would only encourage more City neglect. Where we live in Minneapolis should not be a consideration. * Should a rather anonymous submission be allowed to be posted? There really isn't any compelling basis for knowing where L? resides. L? could be operating from anywhere on the planet. I'm inclined to believe that the United Kingdom is a possibility because of L?'s spelling (neighbourhood). On the other hand, L? may reside locally and be an employee of the City of Minneapolis. Neal E.
