I note that there is a proposal to change the rules we passed at the last city convention which would require caucuses in the year of the municipal election. I urge attendees to keep this language in. It is very important to keep the momentum of participation up and to allow people with a special interest in city issues to participate. This has worked very well for St. Paul, in particular changing the direction of their city council. It is a particularly cynical move to try and stop the change at what may be a lower participation convention before it has even gone into effect. For example Sat may be the last day of the legislative session keeping legislators and staff away.
