I think the first point of ethics Jason Stone and Scott Vreeland should recommend is to respond to all constituents even those they dislike or disagree with.
I am a constituent of the 5th park district. My schools ( MTS) are in the 3rd Park District. Scott ignores my school. Jason refuses to answer my question and instead insults me by describing my comments as one sided heckling. I found Jason's comments on Carol Kummer not accepting funds donations from park board contractors such as attorneys to be as usual condescending if not rude. I appreciate Carol Kummer's comments as a positive and deliberative approach. The questions I have asked that Jason refuses to respond are: How is the Park Board going to serve the 5,000 students who are in charter schools and alternative schools? Why do charter and alternative school students not have equal access to Park Facilities? Why do charter and alternative school students not have equal access to the School Patrol run by the Park Police? Read the article about a MTS charter school student http://www.startribune.com/stories/526/5219971.html<http://www.startribune.com/stories/526/5219971.html> Notice he is playing in a private school gym despite there being public gyms including the Park Board and the YWCA are within several blocks of the school. Yes, MTS school pays rent. Even if you do not like my comments, these are real questions. Please place responding to all constituents on your list of ethics. REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules. If you think a member is in violation, contact the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] before continuing it on the list. 2. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait.
