Who can balance class, race and geography in Ward Eight? By: Shannon Gibney Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder Originally posted 10/26/2005
The Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder recently sat down with the two remaining candidates for MinneapolisÂ’ Eighth Ward city council seat, civil rights lawyer Elizabeth Glidden (EG) and Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board Commissioner Marie Hauser (MH), and asked them to elaborate on their qualifications and what they view as the wardÂ’s major issues. Jeff Hayden, the leading African American contender for the position, was knocked out of the running in the September 13 primary. In the citywide general election on Tuesday, November 8, Ward Eight voters, over half of whom are people of color, must decide which candidate, Glidden or Hauser, will best serve their interests. The MSR offers these interviews as an aid to these voters of color, as well as to White voters concerned about who can best represent one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the city. http://www.spokesman-recorder.com/news/Article/Article.asp?NewsID=62882&sID=4 Posted by Shawn Lewis, Minnetonka -- ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/ REMINDERS: 1.
