Typical Morning Mpls Forum Digest: Gas Masks for the Homeless, etc. Message 1: Money Needed for Redevelopment of Franklin Ave
Message 2: $700,000 to be given to the poverty stricken Mdewakanton Sioux to preserve "sacred" Camp Coldwater Spring. I understand the Archbishop has applied for a grant to help pay for the restoration of the Cathedral and the Basilica. I expect that will go through without much problem. Any First Amendment authorities on the Forum? Message 3: Gas Masks and Rations needed for the Homeless to withstand terrorism from peoples unknown. No mention of any groups that might be involved. How 'bout Arabic lessons for them, or is that too impolitic to mention? Message 4: No cuts in Local Government Aid for Minneapolis Message 5: Ditto Message 6: Minneapolis needs to be reimbursed for all the money we spent for infrastructure for the suburbs. Maybe we should make them all move back. Is everybody ready to double and triple and quintuple up in their housing? Message 7: Alternative use for plastic and duct tape. No thoughts on who would pay. Message 8: Non resident sheds light on who pays for what. Message 9: Biggest War Protest in History Scheduled for Loring Park. Police agree to work for nothing as a sign of solidarity? Message 10: Full Moon predicts start of war this weekend. City needs to prepare by Monday, oops, it's a three day weekend for them. Might be too late. Message 11: Suggestion that duct tape is worthless. Rather we should all move to the northern suburbs (where we paid for the infrastructure), far away from the Mega Mall, our prime target. Message 12: New day coming at City Hall with election of Samuels; DFL upset Message 13: City Council in favor of Poverty and Homelessness Message 14: Another rational thought on Local Government Aid Message 15: Where to Snowtube from someone who doesn't want Federal Funds (as far as I know) Message 16: American politicians likened to Nazis in whipping up anti-Iraq fever.
