Other points:
The Mayor’s donor list reads like a whose who of The Breck School –
where his children attend. Not that I question anyone for sending
their children to great private schools. The poor parents of this
City would send their children to such schools also if they were part
of the “Power Elite”. All Minneapolis children should receive such
good educations. This is probably why the quality of Minneapolis
Public Schools and neighborhood schools are just not as much of a
priority for the Mayor that it is for some others.
This issue of where anyone's kids go to school really annoys me. After
a recent Park Board meeting Tony Scallon, former McLaughlin campaign
manager had the audacity to complain people were picking on Park Board
Commissioners for sending their kids to DeLaSalle and then voting on a
project with DeLaSalle. He was incensed anyone would use where
people's children went to school to attack his "friends" on the MPRB
and yet he and his " friends" can turn around and use the same argument
against the Mayor.
