Even though I no longer live in Saint Paul, I'd be happy to contribute money to CM Johnson Lee's re-election bid. Happier still to contribute to any challenge she might launch against Mayor Rybak or U.S. House Representative Martin Sabo.
Unfortunately, one of the current Mayor's few good deeds, selecting William McManus for Police Chief, hasn't panned out so well. With all the recent reports of police brutality I'm afraid the Police Chief undermined his effectiveness for good after making some stupid remarks to his subordinates. Too bad. I believe he meant well at the start, but now he's squandered the political capital he needs to reform the police department.---------------------Peter Schmitz Downtown St. Paul ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
