Once again, blinded by rigid views, the local effects of national politics is not to be discussed here. David nips this in the bud as we enter the real election season and try to examine the issues - the deficits, the Patriot Act, the effect of tax cuts on state and local government and local employment - as they descend on Minneapolis and all cities. Everything talked about between now and November 2004 may well be directly related to federal and state policy.

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
