Justin My experience with Peter has been that of completely ignoring me once I told him I would actively work to unseat him if he went forward with a taxpayer funded stadium.
As for Gail, she responds to emails, so I do not know why she is not responding to you. I guess their accountability comes at election time.

My question for other Minneapolis residents and Hennepin County residents is: What type of accoutability to the public do these officials really have? Last I checked they were holding elected positions. If they do not have to respond to their constituants concerns what's to stop them from passing rules/ordinances/taxes with much more severe consequences to the residents living in Minneapolis? I've spoken to collegues who have had the same experience on this issue. Any advice on how the system is supposed to work (malcontents included)? Justin Eibenholzl Armatage REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
