A new Southwest Journal is out today. Many stories touch upon list topics. I thought I'd send out a few links - comments welcome, to me or the list.
(Note: there is a long story on Mike Christenson and CPED that is somehow not on the website. I will send that link as soon as we post it.)

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.) ________________________________ 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
