People concerned about the milfoil on Calhoun, and it is horrendous, should contact Jeff Lee at the Park Board.  I have seen him quoted with the response you are all looking for.  I will not try to give you what he said, but you should contact him for a response. Karen Collier Linden Hills

RE: [Mpls] Civil rights commission

The Civil Rights Commission is a different organization from the Civil Rights Department. My understanding is that the only public cost of the Commission is for some city to staff the Commission. Laura Sether Office of Mayor Rybak -Original Message- From: Jon Lewis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTEC

[Mpls] Mayor/council property tax plan analysis

Skyway News and SW Journal feature stories on the Mayor's and council's proposal to cap property tax revenues at 8 percent growth per year. One of the most interesting parts is a chart of how property taxes would grow for various home valuations ($155,000; 250,000; 510,000), in today's dollars. T
