The only upshot of this whole burgeoning fiasco is that it is perhaps the final
piece to the ruination of her future political aspirations.

Minneapolitans will hopefully maintain a long memory and be ready to warn those
around the county or state (should higher office be sought) that it wasn't just
the endless extensions to the Block E developer, the land usurping and public
funding of a Target store, the TIFing of blocks and blocks of downtown (those
were just policy decisions that proved to be unpopular with the populace), or
even the sheer smugness exhibited in spearheading NRP to fix her up a house (it
was technically legal, but as Ronnie Van Zant said, 'whew that smell!) that
should keep voters away, but above all, it was that when she didn't get her way
she proved her true political mettle, and demonstrated in no uncertain terms just
how much her constituents and her home ward truly mattered to her by 86'ing 12
years worth of information.

I remember when I was about 13 and I saw a home movie that my Grandfather had
shot of me throwing a baseball bat and a sizable tantrum when I had struck out
with runners on base and a ballgame on the line (I was maybe 10 when the film was
shot). It was an awakening. One of life's little lessons� being a sore loser
makes you look like an ass. Her behavior aside from being flat out not right (I
can't speak to the legality of it all, but as they say perception is 9/10 of the
law) is basically boorish nose thumbing that will hopefully be remembered by all
for as long as is necessary.

[from the story] "Cherryhomes, who was also the former council president,
acknowledges she
deleted her ward's computer files, but says she got permission to do so from the
city clerk's office."

OH, COME ON
