The real question is: Would we ask people living in the wealthy neighborhoods around the Lakes who drive Land Rovers if they need them? Would we even question that they have them? Or are those questions only pertinent to people who live in or visit poor neighborhoods?
If the special election was in the 13th ward and someone went to Barret Lane's house to pick up literature in a Land Rover, would it even have been noticed let alone posted about on Mpls. Issues? I don't think so. What's with the double standard? Are we saying that because Don Samuels lives in a "poor" neighborhood that he should surround himself and be supported by only poor people? I hope not. It takes money to win an election. Lots of it. I hope Don knows a lot of rich people. I hope the guy who drove the Land Rover wrote Don a big fat $300 check and I hope the guys wife, grandma and auntie did too! Barb Lickness Whittier Southsider supporting Don Samuels. GO DON! ===== "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
