Dear Steve,
I commend you on your excellent observation and critique from a synoptic pin-point view. This helps ignore the crisis at hand. I call it Minnesota nice or denial (didn't even know I always lie).
Please don't let the main issue get lost in miscellaneous information that has no force or effect on the fact that children since they have moved in have unacceptable levels of lead poisoning from the polluted water.

Zack Metoyer posted this yesterday re my Heritage Park ooze article:
"The Star Tribune quoted the developer today saying "a contractor
worked on the playgrounds." This is not true. The city worked on the
playgrounds."
I would dispute Zack's assertion. I was at Outlot A on Monday and
spoke with the crew that was excavating and placing drain tile in the
totlots. They identified themselves as working for Ramsey Excavating.
I later confirmed this with company owner Al Ramsey. I know what city
vehicles look like and these were not city vehicles. Perhaps Zack was
referring to some other work or the public playgrounds on the city
portion of the development. These totlots are within the two outlots,
or blocks, that are the responsibility of the private developer.

TEMPORARY REMINDER:
1. Don't feed the troll ! Ignore obvious flame-bait.
2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject (Mpls-specific, of course.)
