Representative Tom Workman (Chanhassen) has introduced legislation to repeal the law that protects the spring at camp coldwater. So if you care about this jewel of Mpls. give your rep a call. The law in question had broad support in both houses and was signed by the governor.
Many people believe Fort Snelling floated down from the heavens and came to rest on the confluence of the rivers, Minnesota and Mississippi. This is not true, the soldiers stayed at camp coldwater while the fort was being built. The water that is now in peril is the same water that sustained the soldiers and settlers of the area. Dred Scott was at camp coldwater for awhile. This is an important piece of our history, we should give a damn. I know we're all civic minded people and as such we're busy with al sorts of pet projects, not to mention the business of our lives, but I would ask you to think about this. That if this is done incorrectly for all sorts of lame reasons we're sending the wrong message. That a few can destroy our city's resourses because of sheer laziness is disheartening to the young people of this place we supposedly call 'home'. If you want peace on Earth, you must first make peace with the Earth, Robert Yorga new3 _______________________________________ 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
