Well Tom, I've been reading this for about four years now and that solution of an audit won't satisfy some. Unless the audit says what they want it to say. Clearly this is about a small group who cannot get elected to run the Mpls NAACP so they have decided to run the once credible organization into the ground. It's the same group going after the third or fourth set of NAACP leadership. I say let them run the organization and be done with it. Eric Mitchell St Paul
