Something like, "Reports of my death are premature." The same could be said for Dyna's assumption about the "death" of the Green Party, whether locally or nationally. Below is a statement, just released today, from Cam Gordon, Chair, Green Party of MN: "The Secretary of State, in agreement with the findings of the state Attorney General, has determined that the Green Party of Minnesota shall retain its major party status until 2004. This will mean that we will have ballot access and more public funds to run state house seats next round."
