I see no room for complaining here-- the deciding vote in both the Council President (fer Ostrow agin BJ) and VP (fer Lilligren agin Goodman) races was cast by a woman of color. And, arguably the four most important committees, Ways and Means, Health and Human Services, Community Development, and Transportation and Public Works are all chaired by women. richard carney st. paul _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
