Mel's reply Many of us are also waiting for our elected Mayor to tune in the important and informative posts warning about the decline of our city....Jim Graham, Penn Bro Keith, Dyra, Barb L., myself and others have all made repeated attempts to get his attention about all the OPEN AIR DRUG/SEX MARKETS THAT exist and the disorder that results from them. Vickie Heller's posts, warning about the city's waste of taxpayers dollars is one other thing our good mayor needs to tune into and act on. The best place to begin is to read Ron Feldman's (Fed economist) report "The Affordable Housing Shortage: Considering the Problem, Causes and Solutions." Peace Mel Gregerson Whittier --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd like to know where else in the world the mayor of a major city is so tuned into an online list and responds one-on-one viz. issues of this sort. RT is one amazing dude, people. Wallow in something St. Paul cannot imagine having.
