The Second Affordable Housing Summit will be at 3 PM on 4/7/02 at the
glorious Zuhrah Shrine Center. For RT to get any cozier and closer with the
NonProfiteers, he will have to ride in on their shoulders to the Shrine
Temple. Will this be a Circus?

I believe it defies logic to leave for-profit, small business people
called landlord, out of the mainstream committee formed to help determine
future city housing policy. I asked RT the question below last week and still
await an answer. Herewith, I repost the Question to RT. >>>>Keith Reitman,

Dear RT, Welcome to City Hall. Since the policies and prizes are being
passed before Jan. 2, I wish to ask you a question about affordable housing
initiatives you are formulating. Which people from the private sector, small
businessmen called landlord, have you selected and appointed to this
affordable housing roundtable so far? I have a fear that all nonprofit and no
bottom line experience means spending more money with less thought. Our tax
money is short, let the idea list grow long. Thank you.

>> Still waiting so Keith says;
Last night, at the MPRAC property rights meeting and holiday party, we
heard from Council members elect Johnson Lee, Zimmerman, and Lilligren. We
were reminded by them of how huge the "affordable housing issues" were in
swinging the election outcome toward change. Today I viewed Mpls. cable
channel 6 rebroadcast of the Nov. 14th MPRAC Meeting. The groups founder,
Charlie Disney, cautioned the group that helping win elections for people is
not enough, we cannot rest on our laurels. We must come to the table of city
policy construct. We must bring our ideas and our hard-learned knowledge
forward. Either by city leaders' invitation, or if they omit us, by
aggressive political action and dissent, we must participate in the
formulation and institution of any and all housing initiatives in this city.
Our hard earned property tax dollars and the interests of all Mpls.
stakeholders in these issues demand we come to the table. We have heard from
smart responsible council members; RT.- WE await your call and assignments
even though it appears you have already started the "housing round table"
without us. Keith Reitman, --RT., phone home, Near North
