That�s a headline I never expected to see. On a periodic late night lurk, I read the �More to the Story� post from Michelle Martin describing the amended budget numbers. It�s puzzling to see who supported and who opposed the Johnson/ColvinRoy/Shiff �Save Cops� amendment. Lilligren, Johnson Lee, Zerby & Zimmermann all supported it. Who would have predicted these four would vote to cut deeper into Civil Rights and Health & Family and send the money to the Police department?
You�d think it would be folks who typically promote �public safety as core service� : Lane, Ostrow, Goodman, Benson. But only Ostrow supported it � the other three didn't; they voted to protect Public Works, Civil Rights, Health & Family Services, Planning, etc. This feels like an unusual political world for Minneapolis. These voting patterns are so all over the map. What's their reasoning? There�s got to be more going on here? Martha Bolinger ECCO TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Send all posts in plain-text format. 2. Cut as much of the post you're responding to as possible. ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
