Dan said: "However, the important issue is not whether the decisions of 20 years ago were sound but whether the proposals that will be presumably voted on in ten days
are good for Minneapolis." I say: In a round about way I think that is what I was asking. Is it a prudent decision for the long term of the Mpls. Public Schools to shed it's real estate portfolio for a current cash flow problem now? Secondly, how did the decision to shed some school buildings 20 years ago only to rebuild new schools later cost the city and is that decision contributing to the financial problems of today? Don't know just asking. Are we about to make another mistake or not? Barb Lickness Whittier ===== "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
