Greeting's List!
That's the beauty of being different and not the same. It gives a chance for
all voices to heard. For my two peers that responded, I respect your
opinions. I too was a little hard on RT, in my own mind. However, "I" have
to weigh facts and be very fair to "myself" and candidates. Meaning to not
to give them faults when it's not theirs to own, just inherited. I (me)
had to realize that Minneapolis along with many other states have been in a
budgetary crisis and full of federal cuts. That is not RTs' or any other
mayor who would have been in office at this time's bad. I'm sure that if
something could have been done it most probably would have. My posting was
not meant to encourage folks to vote for either Peter, or RT. Rather, to
share my thoughts and my opinions on what I heard and how I felt about what
I did heard. Meaning, my post was not for debate, but debate if you will. I
just shared my thoughts.
"But without the overall budgetary discipline Minneapolis has followed since
2002, the city would be in poorer shape to take advantage of a future that
looks mostly bright."

Sorry, I also meant to thank Council Person Paul Zerby, in helping to keep
Public Health in the cities future and away from budget cuts. As well, if
there is any other person on the council that work ard this topic, My hat is
off to you, and my many thank's. The one's mentioned were the ones that I
and Marnie Wells past Co-Chair, had very much been in dialog with for some
time.
Innovation, everyday entrepreneurship, and creativity are the aims of
collaboration."
