The Legislature is considering making it easier to campaign in the apartment, condo and townhouse buildings that comprise much of Minneapolis.
The House bill would allow campaign workers for a candidate access to these buildings (assuming that they can find someone to grant access), the Senate bill (sponsored by Higgins, Scheid and others) was amended in committee to include ballot issues and get out the vote drives. Given the objections some have found from those living in some of these buildings to people campaigning in these buildings it will be interesting to see their reactions to increased door knocking and lit drops (it's a lot easier and quicker to lit drop a 300 unit building than 300 houses in south Minneapolis) Terrell Brown Loring Park -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 5:26 PM To: Session Daily Listserv Subject: MPA: SESSION DAILY: News from the House SESSION DAILY http://www.house.mn/hinfo/sdaily.asp News from the House Elections A bill would permit campaign workers access to multiple-unit dwellings without the candidate. http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/hinfo/sessiondaily.asp?yearid=2005&storyid= 416 Published 3/14/05 REMINDERS: 1.
