Hard to know where to start in responding to these professional Green Party bashers. If you can't think of anything factual just make something up and throw it at the wall to see what sticks. Dean Zimmermann has a Farheen Hakeem for mayor of Minneapolis sign on the fence at his house. Jay Pond had to decide whether to serve as Farheen's campaign manager or run for City Council - he chose to stay with Farheen's campaign. Zimmermann was endorsed by the Green Party with 94% of the vote. Oh, yawn.
Peace, Dean Zimmermann Mpls City Council - Ward 6 [EMAIL PROTECTED] C: 612-388-1311 W: 612-673-2206 H: 612-724-3888 2200 Clinton Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55404 Surely the most important task for all of us is to leave behind a planet that is fit for our great grandchildren to live on. So all of our personal actions, as well as our political policies, must be tempered with an eye to long term sustainability, not short term profit or expediency. As we struggle to solve the day to day problems -- crime, jobs, budget shortfalls, homelessness, traffic congestion, and air quality, we will look to solutions that serve both our immediate needs and lay the foundation for the post-petroleum economy. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Valerie Strickland Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 6:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Mpls] Green Party Split? What's going on with the Green Party? I've been asking people about some strange news that I read about Dean Zimmermann not being supported by leaders in his own party: http://www.minneapolisconfidential.blogspot.com At first, I just dismissed this as speculation from rivals, but then I had it confirmed: > She also wasn't supporting Jay Pond in the 10th before he > dropped out. She was supporting Remington. The Greens are > in a bit of disarray: Their best chance for election -- > Natalie Johnson Lee in the 5th -- isn't even a party member. While I was trying to reach Farheen Hakeem to ask her why she doesn't support Zimmermann, I discovered other news as well. Court documents in the lawsuit over the Taxi 2000 Corporation reveal that the PRT brochures and PowerPoint presentation that Zimmermann has given (and continues to give) were prepared by SEH -- the engineering firm behind the proposed highway construction on 35W. "I intend to notify Taxi 2000 Corp. that all of the images used in their promotional literature, web site, etc. are copyrighted materials, owned solely by SEH." -- http://prtskeptic.tblog.com I thought the Greens opposed the 35W Access Project. Maybe Farheen is distancing herself from Zimmermann because of his ties with SEH and their project to tear down homes in a minority neighborhood. Does anyone know more about this?
