Greetings, gang. This rather histrionic e-mail that Heather forwarded to the list has been making the rounds. It is my understanding that the Clear Channel proposal is a joint proposal being submitted by Hennepin Theatre Trust (a nonprofit), Historic Theatre Group and Clear Channel. This proposal clearly states that at no time will either HTG or Clear Channel own the theatres. It is, like the others, a proposal to run the theatres. In Clear Channel's case, it is a proposal to continue to run the theatres that they've been running for quite some time. All three proposals - Theatre Alliance (Ordway), Theatre Dreams, and HTT/HTG/Clear Channel are available on the city's website at:
http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/cped/theatres_rfp_home.asp I suggest that people take a look at the website and view the proposals themselves. There's a lot of misinformation flying around out there. A good starting place is the facts. One can take issue with Clear Channel for some things, but they've been operating these theatres for some time now and they appear to be doing a pretty good job.
