3 top Minneapolis police officers put on leave Politics? Good policing? Strong statement of change? Shaking things up for the sake of shaking things us? Taking responsibility up the command structure to make a statement? Taking responsibility up the command structure to assert authority?
And most importantly, why didn't I learn aobut this on this list first? Good job Rochelle Olson at the Strib for the breaking news.

I attended the Wolves game last night... a near sellout crowd at Target Center, and the Wolves did it again, beating the N Jersey Nets 81-68. The Wolves started out slow against the hot Nets, but were able to tie the score by halftime, and finish with a real blitz in the last five minutes. Troy Hudson was the star of the game. We got downtown early for some food, shopped a bit and qualified for free parking in a nearby lot, and enjoyed the game. Stores seemed busy on this week night. We checked out the newly relocated and remodeled Dakota Jazz Club on the Mall and found McCormick & Schmick's doing a brisk business in food and drink. This was my first trip to the new Dakota, since it relocated from St. Paul, and it looks GREAT!! Given all this, I must say that I remain opposed to public financing of professional sports enterprises, and recommend the upcoming conference at the Humphrey Institute at U of M (this Fri/Sat) to all interested list members: Reining in Competition for Capital http://www.hhh.umn.edu/projects/prie/index.htm Michael Hohmann Linden Hills www.mahohmannbizplans.com also note: The CURA Housing Forum holds it's brown bag session Friday, Feb. 27th, 12-1:30 at Carlson School of Management, Rm. 1-143.
