I don't think I've read or heard a decent explanation as to why a hardworking public servant like Steve Cramer wasn't retained as MCDA Executive Director. I personally think he's done yeoman's (whoops, sorry Council Member Zimmermann) yeoperson's work with the job.
Why does the State Legislature have a seemingly better view of St. Paul and it's projects than Mpls? Is this a myth or has history borne this out? Finally, Roseville resident Joe Soucheray joins a long line of Pioneer Press columnists and reporters who like to give pithy zingers on the Mpls/St. Paul rivalry. Charley Walters, Katherine Lanpher, etc. etc. What's up with that? Is this written in their PiPress contract somewhere? You know, make the city thats had an historical inferiority complex feel better about itself? This happens on MPR quite a bit as well. Just curious, I personally don't think this side of the river gives a rat's glutious maximus about the city vs. city thing. Randy Kelly said recently that he has put "Minneapolis on notice", that Minneapolis businesses should glance their eyes on the nirvana that is St. Paul and possibly relocate their. Can you imagine the bitching that would ensue if Rybak made such a claim? My image of Minneapolis/St. Paul is of one city's desire to have the other notice and recognize it's importance. More like a big brother/little brother vibe than true twins. Tim Mady West Calhoun/self described Barret Laniac __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
