Why would you be concerned, Mr. Velez? Barbara Johnson has represented the 4th Ward very well and, to the best of my knowledge, is always responsive to her residents. She has considered the best scenarios for the Ward along with what is best for the greater city community. As a resident of Shingle Creek you should already know, in light of the Humboldt Greenway development and the current visioning of the Humboldt Industrial Park, that your Council Member has and continues to be a very real presence in the Ward. Barbara also brings substantial knowledge and experience to a Council with a majority of newcomers who face the daunting task of dealing with a number of critical city-wide issues. Besides that, why shouldn't the 4th Ward Council Member become the Council President?
Roberta Englund, Folwell Neighborhood -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Robert Velez Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 2:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Mpls] North News article on the elections I'm troubled by Barb Johnson's statement as reported in the North News that her "first order of business on the new council is her bid for the council presidency. She's met all the new council members, she added, and has started campaigning among them." [North news 11/27/2001] What are Northsiders in her Ward supposed to make out of this? I, for one, am a little concerned.
