By adding to the public debate on this he's made it much more difficult for the Park Board to go ahead and override the veto and not have to explain themselves at the next election. Seems to me this raises the awareness, and therefore accountability (in both directions-- after all, it puts him on the hook for the stuff mentioned in the release). He's drawn up some good ideas for saving money (at least they look good to me)-- some of which may actually increase police efficiency. I think it's bizarre that the parks wouldn't simply be patrolled as part of their respective wards. Even if they do override this veto, it looks like he's gotten a good agenda some airtime, where-- again-- constituents will have seen and heard about it, so that the Park Board can't just turn a blind eye. Thank you, Mayor Rybak! -michael (Ward 4, North Mpls) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Michael C.
