"the work is done by those who show up" I love that phrase.
It is a vitally important sentiment to allow an organization to move
forward with its mission -- always waiting around for unrepresented
group of people can turn into the quagmire which paralyzes action.

Wizard,
I believe you are wrong on your 90% federal money figure. It was my understanding that of the $153 million project the state would come up with 95 million. Because MnDot did not have 35W South schedualed/budgeted until 2015 McClaughlin proposed that Hennepinn County tax payers bond

I think to run in a ward, you must live in that ward, even if it is just
