RE: [Mpls] Town Hall meeting on race

NEAL - I doubt they are there to represent anyone. They were invited to present a perspective on race because each has one from a different place. You don't have to represent anyone or anything to give a perspective on an issue as a member of a panel. I for one, think this is going to be a very

Re: [Mpls] Park Board Annual Meeting, You're not invited

I think Annie has a good point. If the meeting notices are run by the government, the forces that want to sneak stuff thru will subvert it. I understand the Legislature has a good data base, that could be easily accessible to the public, allowing us to see at a glance how our legislators vote. I

Re: [Mpls] Would a bus strike have a snowball's chance in hell?

If bus riders call their legislators to complain about a bus strike, who will they be complaining to? How many bus riders live in districts represented by Republicans? That is the $64,000 question. The Republican domination of state government makes a huge difference. How many

Thanks to all who gave me feedback. I will not be knocking on their door tomorrow. Will be out there on the park land. ---on another note: From everything I have heard, Mayor Rybak followed a very ethical procedure in his effort to select the next police chief. He went to community people

Re: [Mpls] park board and Straw Man Arguments

[Mpls] Park Board

Tony Scallon has done a lot for the city and the neighborhoods I have lived in. I have worked with him in many of his roles and have respect for his work. He and I obviously supported different candidates for Park Board District 3. I believe we both have the same objective of a well run, well

Re: [Mpls] Park Board

Scott Vreeland's recent post states the current situation most clearly. I thank him for writing it. We can't solve the park system's problems unless we do it together. While I have similar concerns about Brian Rice and Jon Gurban, we have to solve one problem at a time. If Tony Scallon can
