I have written both my city council member (Colvin-Roy) and county official (McLaughlin) and let them know I am opposed to the Access project. Sandy has seen fit to ask me why and I elaborated, while Peter has ignored my email thus far.
As for Allina holding us up with their promises, what do people on this forum think are the chances they are bluffing about moving? They have a lot invested where they are at present to pack up and move across the river. I am not sure how I feel about Sandy yet, so will reserve judgment for now. I am completely against the stadium issue so any ideas out there who we can get to replace Peter McLaughlin for the county? Ron Leurquin Nokomis East -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jeanne Massey Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 2:00 PM To: Minneapolis Issues Forum Subject: [Mpls] County vote on 35W Access Project I just heard the county vote yesterday was 7-0 in favor of the project "layout". Was anyone there? Can anyone report on the discussion/outcome? This outcome is very disappointing and an unnecessary step for our elected officials to take, given that it precedes the environmental review and public hearing process. Allina - a long term partner in the 35W Access Project process - is wrong to unilaterally trump the process at this time with the threat of moving jobs without city and county support for the project, and the city and county are wrong for bowing to Allina's demands. The whole city council votes Friday. Any sense of how these votes are lining up? Jeanne Massey Kingfield REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
