6. Superintendent Gurban, in a letter to me dated June 15, 2005, continues
to defend the use of
police authority to enforce the practice of requiring a permit for
constitutionally protected
speech. He recommends I review the Almost-Became-Regulations - not sure
why. He further advises
that "it has been the long time practice to require permits of political
candidates who campaign
inside the Parks."

Then no doubt the superintendent or his staff can give information
on the number of such permits issued in the last few years, right?
I have been Treasurer of the Minneapolis DFL Party for the last 6 years,
and I know that we have not paid for any such permits in that time. Yet we
have held many political debates, meetings, rallys, etc in our public parks.
