Folks, we have rules against personal attacks. This exchange is one reason why.
Please folks, carve up the issues, not each other. If you feel the need to take a potshot directly at someone, email them directly. It's a good idea to restrain hyperbole, too (see the post that started this exchange), but the rules are less strict about that.

How many low income and immigrant folks is the gated community of North Oaks currently supporting. You know the folks that do all low paying service related jobs and other tasks that people from North Oaks seem to enjoy; law service, health care, and on, and on, and on. Ken Bradley Corcoran Neighborhood �Victoria Heller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The unions deliver the DFL votes. Then the Council delivers our money to the unions. That's why the $2,500 boiler costs $30,000. That's why the $20 million Stone Arch Apartments costs $33 million. That's why rents are $1,000 rather than $500. That's why we subsidize building stuff we don't need (i.e. riverfront housing for the rich, Target store, stadium, Cub store, Guthrie, skating rinks, Block E, etc..) That's why Mpls schools cost $17,000 per student. By the way, the Austin, Texas per student cost is $7,450. [You know you're in Minneapolis when folks celebrate spending the most rather than producing results.] Unrelated note: There are no state income taxes in Texas either. Now here's a little known little secret - the private sector figured this out some time ago - and didn't like making those involuntary political contributions. One more secret - paying property taxes is still a voluntary act. When local government gets too goofy, too greedy, too corrupt - people and businesses just leave.
