Thank you Margaret Hastings, Michelle Gross, Ronald Leurquin, David Shove and Jim Mork!!! I never thought I would ever say this but the old Sayles Belton-Cherryhomes-Campbell regime is looking better each day as Rybak and the current city council continue to disillusion many of us with their capitulations to the wealthy and powerful.
This is not to say that I would like to see SSB, Cherryhomes or Campbell back at City Hall, but I think the citizens of Minneapolis would benefit from Lisa McDonald's return. She had vision and common sense. So to answer David Shove's question regarding who should run against Rybak, I would have to say Lisa, even though she's considerably to the right of me ideologically. If nothing else, she's greener than Mayor Rybak who's sold environmentalists down the river with his support of the 35W Access Project. She's also a heck of a lot smarter than R.T. who's bumbling presence in City Hall has aggravated Police/Community relations. If others on this list can think of a better replacement for R.T., please come forward.----Peter Schmitz CARAG REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
