On September 13, vote Doug Mann for City Council, Ward 8 Enforce fair employment &housing laws! (See page 2) Close the education access gap! Education is a right, not a privilege! (see page 3) No local sales tax for a new Twins Stadium without a referendum! The City Council should try to kill the Twins stadium deal if a sales tax is imposed on Hennepin County residents without a decisive vote.
Increase affordable* housing stock! (*Affordable to households with low to moderate incomes) The city has been investing way too much money in big downtown projects (like the Twins Stadium) and high-priced housing. Mayor R.T. Rybak has taken credit for expanding the stock of "affordable" Housing." However, "affordable housing" is defined as housing that is affordable to a 4-person household with income of up to $70,000. "Affordable housing" isn't necessarily affordable to households with low-to-moderate incomes. --------------------------------------- Full Text, (pages 2-4) at http://educationright.com/id500.htm -Doug Mann, King Field http://educationright.com REMINDERS: 1.
