Joe has an excelent point, esp when it comes to the U of M supplying a some police resources. We can all remember the problems with the hockey team riots. Besides that, the year round expenses incurred by the city policing around the campus and U of M events. Since the Univ school yet doesn't start for a few more weeks, I cannot see any reason the U can't reassign several officers over here to help out. Since all Univ land and bldgs are tax-exempt, it would certainly be a way for the campus to be a good neighbor with a bit of community outreach to the city. Perhaps Mr Zirby can help with this idea. By the way, lasttime I checked, the U of M had about 60 full-time cops and they got paid more than Mpls cops.

If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject (Mpls-specific, of course.) ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Un-subscribe, etc. at: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
