The Minneapolis-Issues Forum is moving - to different servers and software.
THIS PART IS IMPORTANT:
If you wish to continue to participate in the forum, we'll be asking you to
set up a new account on our new software, which will provide a number of

About two years ago Carol Becker posted a reply to another list member
clarifying city budget issues. Later that day Loki Anderson forwarded
the email to me with the comment that she would make a good member of
