Translating delegates' interest and questions into action! I'm happy to
announce that there will be a series of candidate forums in the
community libraries. Many delegates at the DFL city convention were
disappointed in the vote to cut the library board candidates'
presentation time from five minutes to three minutes. No questions from
delegates were allowed. Several delegates asked me to help bring the
campaign to them in their community libraries. Now it will happen!
Minneapolis voters made a tremendous investment in libraries by passing
the referendum to build a new central library with updating of the
community libraries. Now the library system is being starved by one
after another cut in Local Government Aid. Have a point of view on
this? Pick a date and come on out.
The Friends of the Library will moderate the sessions. This is a great
opportunity for all of you to see and hear the candidates up close.
Here is what is lined up so far. There may be one or two more: (these
are all for 1.5 hours).
