[Mpls] The Right Kind of Advocacy

[m1r3201]

In response to the issue raised by Mr. Snyder and the Mayor's fundraising party--       I asked that the Mayor respond to a question that is reasonable to pose to him,       and ,given that he campaigned on affordable housing, one I would expect him to       be willing to answer.       He has posted on the forum before.       Below is a comment I made on a recent post:      {{{{{{Now, if the Mayor does not have time to do an interview with me or anybody else. I would hope he would post to the list. He has done this in the past. I remember his post about the Loppet.}}}}}}}}                I have found our previous Mayors, not just Mayor Rybak, to display similar traits of making it difficult for the average resident to have access to them or reasonable questions answered.        I have asked a reasonable question-- and if the mayor would choose to simply answer that question on this forum or some other public forum where we can see his response---- great.        Then freezing outside his fundraiser, hoping to catch him on the fly will not be necessary.        It gets exhausting having to chase after public officials when they could simply give the respect of an answer.                 Margaret Hastings-Mpsl- Kingfield
