List, It is statements and mindsets like the one brought forth from Mr. Wilson that the city counts on. Why is it so impossible for people to believe the ordinary citizen? Has it not been proven time and time again, with examples mind you, that we citizens get messed over on a constant basis?
I look at the posts of a lot of the list members, and I don't believe everything I read. However, a lot of our members bring sound evidence and advice into our midst, and one cannot help but believe it. I guess some folks believe that if it has not happened directly to them it cannot possibly be true. Must we be shot in the head with a bullet to know it's deadly effects?

Fortunately their efforts at a secret meeting failed and all the people who showed up, who were not someone's staff, were residents who overwhelmingly opposed both the CVI project and any attempt to destabilize the Neighborhood Organization. -------------------------------- David Wilson wrote: Lighten up a little Jim. The City may bumble around with development projects (and sometimes lose the public interest) but spending time to undermind the neighborhood group? If they wanted to do that they would get pack of bureaucrates and lawyers and gang-audit you. _______________________________________ 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
