Needless to say, I do not agree with Wizard's statements, I also thought that personal attacks were not tolerated on Mpls. Issues?

You, of all people, know what has happened in Central and that CNIA is no longer able to field candidates, get its act together to inform the neighborhood, etc. You're as much, if not more, responsible for this state of affairs than many another. [TB] Wizard is right on point with her remark. The only thing that wasn�t said was that Jana Metge was the paid employee of the Central neighborhood group (CNIA) who ran the organization at the time it fell apart when Basim Sabri and his group tried to take over. Like many government employees she just moved on to a similar position in another organization (CLPC in Loring Park). The story at the time was that she was pursuing legal action against CNIA. Those who run such organizations should expect to be held to standards as City department managers and expect the same public criticism from those who take exception to the policies they promote. Our tax dollars are going into our neighborhood organizations and those who run them should expect to be held accountable for the actions they take using those dollars.
