[Mpls] Sabri

[James E Jacobsen]

List members seem predominantly negative on Sabri.         I have never talked to or met Sabri.  I have only seen the Sabri development on East Lake Street, which I have been impressed with, and certainly have no objection to.         Immediate East Lake was the only vacant, boarded area of Lake Street and with porn-massage parlor history.  It is now thriving with legitmate street business and Sabri is the main developer there.         So Sabri had to be pushy charactor to accomplish that, and maybe he offered money to a Council Member (which he shouldn't of had to do) who was evidenced extorting from such developers.        Sabri could be given community award for accomplishment.  Can somebody tell what bad stuff Sabri did or does besides the indictment and unindictment thing.       James E Jacobsen       Whittier
