Title: Mpls. LGA cuts in Pi Press

I once organized 6 landlords and hundreds of dollars to paint all the picnic tables at Creekview park or Webber park in Camden.  Let me tell you, there were a lot of tables.  High quality, 10 year, expensive weather resistant paint, from Lathrop at a discount.  Park board said 'no'.  liability issues you know.   I responded that we were all middle aged conscientious adults with loads of experience.  Then came   'union work, don't do it'.   That ended that.  I suppose we could have went ahead and did it any way.  No one would have really busted us.  But volunteers are by nature, law abiding.    Craig Miller Rogers [EMAIL PROTECTED]     ----- Original Message ----- From: Anne McCandless To: Borger, Judith Yates ; Mpls Forum (E-mail) Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 2:41 PM Subject: Re: [Mpls] Mpls.
