<< As much as I'm normally amused by Mr. Reitman's
anti-DFL rants, I did want to add some facts that he
failed to mention. Of the four dissenting votes on the
appointment of an interim Parks Superintendent, three
of them, John Ervin, Rochelle Berry-Graves and Vivian
Mason were DFL endorsed.
And of the five votes in favor of the
appointment, one of them, Bob Fine, was elected by
defeating a DFL endorsee and another, Carol Kummer,
was appointed to her seat by the Park Board following
the death of Ed Solomon, although she is a DFL party
member.
I would be sincerely surprised if anyone on the
Minneapolis DFL Central Committee would be supportive
of these closed door shenanigans.

not a machine. I do not think the numbers presented above refute my comments.
The degree of Machine taint, or influence, may not be revealed in acknowledged
details mentioned by Mr. Anderson. My main point is: A political machine
transcends the individual sum of it's parts. It adapts and evolves (like flu
virus?). It survives, hence it should be observed.
And the term "Central Committee" gives me a healthy shiver, anytime.
