On December 27, 2001, the day after the parking ramp editorial (http://www.startribune. com/stories/561/920187.html), the Star Tribune featured a front page article, "Sharon Sayles Belton: A Mayor's Legacy" (http://www.startribune. com/stories/462/923609.html), which continues the Stribs unrelenting lauding of outgoing mayor Sayles Belton's past priorities and accomplishments including her serving "all the people".
Concurrently, and conversely, this weeks print issue of INSIGHT (http://insightnews.com/) stated in its lead byline that "Concentrated, persistent poverty among African Americans in Minneapolis is the worst in the largest 25 U.S. cities." Included in the rest of this article, are expressions of concern regarding the lack of enforcement, by Minneapolis officials, of laws that were designed to insure equal economic justice for women and minority groups. It would seem that some of our city's priorities for economic justice were misapplied even before parking ramp beneficiaries were designated. Neal E.
