<< This according to the McKinsey & Company report (page 5) issued to Mayor Rybak and the City Council on 3/25/02. The exact quote: "Over the past 5 years, the city spent nearly $1 billion through MCDA, NRP, and the Planning Department. During this time, the city gained only 57 housing units and had job growth significantly lagging suburbs. The city's financial situation is uncertain." Here is the link to the entire report: http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/citywork/mayor/docs/Phase1Summary.pdf Does anyone else wonder what happened to all of that money? Mayor Rybak said in his "State of the City" address that he would have to TRIPLE property taxes over the next ten years unless significant cuts in spending occur soon. Where's the outrage? Posted by: Victoria Heller North Oaks, Minnesota Cedar-Riverside Property Owner (Ward 2) >> Ask Mathea Little Smith, (she states she is a "DFL Guard") who was guarding the money? And making sure homes were built for people who needed them. Can one person faithfully represent the NAACP and be a proud partner to the DFL demolition juggernaut at Hollman and throughout the hoods? Leola Seals (former head of the NAACP before the White DFL packed the membership and voted her out), your people need you to bring them out of the wilderness. On the homefront AND the education front. There might be less of a need to, attack Mary Joe's help for the homeless and promote a moratorium on looking after children in immediate need, if Mathea's NAACP had put bodies between affordable housing and the DFL wreckingball. David Brauer, you are proud of WHAT in the DFL?
