What the DFL wants is the Green Party GONE FOREVER, and they are willing to be less than nice to do it. Of course the big corporations that bankroll the GOP (and DFL) don't like the Green Party, either, and want to see them gone forever, also. The foxes want unprotected access to the chickens. With a solid corporate council & mayor, the corps can raid the city treasury big time. The Green Party would blow the whistle and cut corp welfare to zero; so of course we can't have THAT. The Green Party is asked to be nice to the DFL, but every time it turns its back it finds a DFL knife in it. Eg this redistricting plan, Phyllis Khan's revoting plan. And DemHacks wonder why we Greens don't cozy up to them every presidential election. Could it be...experience? --David Shove Roseville REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
