When a politician doesn�t want to make a decision, what does s/he do? Calls for a task force to study the issue.
Yesterdays Minneapolis City Council Health and Human Service Committee meeting: One alternative that has emerged is a task force to look at the issue, something Council President Paul Ostrow said he could support. "We need to look at this issue to the greatest extent possible. It's something we need to spend time talking about," he said. (Strib: http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4817052.html ) English translation: �I need to stand outside with my finger in the air to find out which way the political winds are blowing.� Note to City Council: Take a look at the medical facts. People are suffering unneeded early death. You don�t allow it in the Council Chambers, why should anyone else need to accept it in their workplace?
