During the Public Works public hearing last week, CM Schiff asked the city intergovernmental staff how it was possible that the 35W Access project will be funded, since State Rep. Karen Clark called his office to voice her opposition to the project. He did not "name drop" her name as a reason to vote for the project.
Also, Margaret Hastings apparently met CM Schiff when he was an eighteen year old college freshman who volunteered for Act Up Minnesota.
