WM: I can't be certain, but I think the reference is to the $6.X million in NRP dollars conferred on Central Neighborhood in the first round of NRP. Pauline sits on the board of CNIA. There has been an audit process and that process has been held up due to the fact that the bookkeeper hared off with the books and refuses to return them (as I understand it). NRP's Bob Miller, therefore, has shut down CNIA's ability to access whatever monies Central still has and will allow the board only to make some decisions about moneys housed with Southside Neighborhood Housing Services.The author of the referenced Spokesman-Recorder editorial wants an investigation of where the money (tax funds) went. Exactly what is being referenced here? The editorial is not clear on what is being charged, or what is to be audited. The writer goes on, "It seems that others are taking advantage of the civil rights laws that we helped to put in place while we continue to fall further and further behind." What?
The civil rights reference has me completely baffled.

Where has all the money gone? By: Pauline Thomas Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder Originally posted 12/4/2002 I would like to first thank the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder for being one of the few newspapers that has helped to truly shape public knowledge in our community. It is sad to say that in the City of Minneapolis and throughout the world the media deliberately attempts to suppress information and viewpoints for ideological reasons. We must do our own research and not rely on what is reported to us through mass media outlets. We appreciate the Spokesman-Recorder giving us the opportunity to report the issues that are most important to our community. http://www.spokesman-recorder.com/news/Article/Article.asp?NewsID= 19559&sID=16 http://www.spokesman-recorder.com Shawn Lewis, Field Neighborhoodsnip _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
