EDITORIAL Demand integrity from City leaders By: Pauline Thomas Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder Originally posted 11/19/2003
�When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.� Edmund Burke Minneapolis City leaders will be judged during our next major election based on their ability to shift the tide of a city with a long history of erosion. Past experiences with some City leaders have shown their willingness to be involved in a system that has trampled over the rights of Minneapolis residents. Some misused and abused their powers. Some supported intimidation, institutional racism, corruption, cronyism, trading favors, cliques, l ack of accountability, unethical behavior, and malicious and oppressive tactics and cover-ups. http://www.spokesman-recorder.com/News/Article/Article.asp?NewsID=35072&sID=16 Posted by Shawn Lewis, Field Neighborhood -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm REMINDERS: 1.
