The Park Board members do receive campaign contributions, but the combined contributions are reported, and would fill a rather small boat, when compared to other city races, such as city council or Mayor. > > VH wrote: Here is the likely answer: BOATLOADS OF UNMONITORED MONEY!!!!!!
I don't think Vicky is speaking of actual campaign money to individual commissioners.... but to comment would be second guessing ...as I did! A segment of the DFL party has a control system that gets them the offices they want with the people they want...qualified or not, smart enough or not, honest or not. They will destroy a more qualified candidate just to place their favorite party insider. The questions are... who helped whom to get in, who owes favors, who controls the purse strings...the answers will give you an idea of the controlled voting. One sitting outside the fold will vote according to what they believe their constituents want...that's a novel idea isn't it! I also believe there needs to be more MONITORING of what area gets what for the buck and why! Get the paperwork in order for all to see....before starting projects that really do concern all of us ..not just a few. There is a dfl'er and then... there is a DFL'ER!
