So I take this to mean that the Minneapolis Neighborhoods have 4 supporters and 9 opponents. Unfortunately both my council members* fall in the opponents camp. I sure would like to know what the reasoning was behind the opposition to the mortgage program. Seems to me that if affordable housing was the goal this is a good addition to the mix.
While I agree with Barb that this vote is truly weird, I am glad it was taken since it is the only look I have had since the election as to where my council people stand regarding neighborhood empowerment, or in this case un-empowerment. > The Council voted 9-4 this morning to support the CD committee > resolution opposing the NRP Policy Board's proposal to take $2million > for a new mortgage insurance program. The four CMs voting "no" (in > effect, supporting NRP's proposal for the new mortgage program) were > Lilligren, Johnson, Johnson-Lee, and Zerby. *pural since I voted for one and am in the ward of another. -- DeWayne Townsend Cooper TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
