Get rid of the MCDA! Its payroll last year was $8.2 million.
The 160 employees who work there (more than the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development) are such experts in the real estate business, they would have no problem finding lucrative employment in the private sector. The MCDA's bonding authority (the ability to incur debt on the backs of the taxpayers) could easily be moved to the City Planning Department - where is belongs anyway. That way, the people we elect will actually call the shots. This plan would leave an extra $2.2 million for others to whine and beg for.
