I recieved my copy today of the Mayor's news. It's very pretty and covers a nice range of topics. It does a good job of touching on many of the key topics oc concern iin Minneapolis. For Deputy mayor David Fey to suggest that the timing was coincidental is preposterous. The mayor's office recognizes that the upcoming March 1 city caucuses are critical to his re-election efforts. This piece is clearly designed to put his honor in the most positive possible light just a month in advance of the city caucuses. The mayor has every right to mail and distribute the piece, but to do so at city expense is a clear foul. His campaign should reimburse the city immediately. In my opinion, failure to do so, is a valid reason to not support his endorsement by the DFL.
Earl must be referring to this:
Deputy Mayor David Fey said that the election-year timing is coincidental and that the office had hoped to put out a newsletter sooner but didn't have the money. Fey said he hopes that in addition to providing valuable information, the newsletter is the beginning of a dialogue with constituents.
EY: If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.
Are Peter McLaughlin and RT Rybak the only people running for mayor?
