Another alternative is the Prospect Park/East River Rd. Assoc. candidate forum on Tue., Feb. 22, 7:00, St. Frances Cabrini church, 1500 Franklin Ave. SE (1 block east of the Mississippi on Franklin) Both candidates for mayor and all five candidates for the ward 2 council seat will be there. It's not billed as a "debate" but there will be time for Q & A.

Though it is regrettable that the Mayoral Debate (Feb. 23, Washburn H.S. at 7 p.m.) and the Conference on Minneapolis Neighborhood Groups and Citizen Participation fall on the same evening, they both represent great opportunities to spur citizen participation in the future of our city.
As the organizer of the debate, I am, of course, partial. Did I mention we have Kerri Miller as our moderator?
That being said, for my money I would argue that whichever is your preference on the 23rd, please attend one. We must find a way to engage and retain the thousands of new citizen activists that raised their voices in 2004. It is o.k. to be pleased that we are a blue state today. To be content or complacent with that fact would be a terrific waste and a potentially damning mistake.
