Re: [Mpls] Campaign finance reports and Honking Pickle Seeds
At 09:14 AM 10/29/01 -0600, David Brauer asks: Does anyone know when pre-general-election campaign finance reports for the mayor's race are filed? I'm thinking tomorrow (Tuesday) - a week before the election, but I'm not confident about that. EY: I thought October 25th was the due date. It would be nice service -- if the toolkit would also accept Campaign Finance Reports from candidates. Would it? Yup, I know -- I'm making MORE WORK for David Brauer. I also think it is a good thing when candidates post their campaign finance reports on their campaign website. Certainly it would be nice if a City for Neighbors would do that for theirs. How about it Joe? Personally I thought the City for Neighbors website provided some useful information. I thought the most interesting part of the site was looking at the attendance rates for candidates (which their information wasn't specifically designed for). Brian Herron had the lowest attendance record for that list of 15 or so votes. However as far as this comment by Don Jorovsky goes: But wait! I forgot! It's OK when RT's supporters do stuff like that! They're the pure reformers who are going to change those terrible things down at City Hall, so it's all justified in the name of the greater good. Come on. You can bet that if some SSB supporters did any of this stuff, people like Joe would be all over them. = EY: Is City for Neighbors specifically involved in RT's campaign? As I recall RT supporters on the list didn't hold SSB responsible for the posts of MA on the list. As far as attacking a list member for posting to the list instead of finishing a campaign finance report -- that's a bit lame. I'll agree that Barazonzi's excuse was a bit like the dog ate my homework I haven't gotten it in because I'm overwhelmed at work and I haven't dropped it off. Royally Honking Pickle Seeds: Wizard Marks writes: The very vulnerable section of the population was the elderly. At the time, there was subsidized housing for the elderly. The others in that section were largely dope dealers, gang bangers, prostitutes and their children. The others were those trying their damnedest to get out of the way of the dealers, etc. and in fear of their lives. What was also true, and part of the bigger picture, was that, demographically, Phillips was overwhelmingly the subsidized poor and the lower echelons of the working poor. The theory on which Portland Place and SJI were warranted was that a neighborhood cannot survive and prosper without a mix of incomes. That meant that there had to be an influx of higher incomes to balance the lower incomes which prevailed. That's the bigger picture which I have said before that Lilligren does not get. EY: I've heard Lilligren talking about housing many times. I also know that when people asked him how much he charged for rent for his own buildings -- he answered with a range. (I don't recall the exact amounts). The point is he produced a nice mix of housing opportunities on his block. However let us presume that Wizard is correct on this point, and Lilligren just doesn't get mixed income housing. I guess what I'd like to hear are Brock's proposals for improving housing opportunities in Minneapolis. I've heard a lot from Wizard Marks -- and her views -- but Wizard is not on the ballot for City Council -- and Brock is. So again I'd like to challenge the elusive Ms. Brock to speak up electronically on this forum. I'd also like to hear what write in candidate Zack Metoyer has to say about these issues. To his credit, Zack has been contributing to this forum. I don't always agree with Zack Metoyer, but I have appreciated his postings to this list. Marks continues honking about being royally honked: Not a rumor and the person had a phone call from Lilligren, not a lit piece. I got the person's call on Friday or Thursday. EY: Robert Lilligren has denied having the conversation Wizard Marks reports. Wizard Marks insists that the conversation occurred. So at this point, the question is credibility. It's a he says, she says situation. So people on the list will just have to decide. Who has been more honest and credible on the Minneapolis Issues list -- and if you are on the CNIA Chat list -- who is more credible on that list?

[Mpls] Campaign finance reports
Steve Brandt asks: Is there anyone else out there who subscribes to this today's-news-in-two-weeks approach? If so, e-mail me and I can probably arrange to have your newspaper for the day after November's city elections delivered to your neighbor's bushes. Given that the purpose of these reports is to make the information public the delay is unacceptable. One of the reasons that a report is due shortly before an election is so the major contribution list is available before the election. A 2 week delay for filing at that time could well delay the public's reciept of the information until after the election. For state elections the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board has a computer program that will prepare a candidate's report and file it online. It would be beneficial if Henn. County could make the same program available for elections in Hennepin County. This would make it easier for campaigns to file the reports and online filing would eliminate mail delays in receiving the reports.
