St. Paul E-Democracy Links http://www.e-democracy.org/stpaul/links.html _________________________________________ Actually the grant to Kinkaids was $2.5 million. It's interesting that when the numbers of dollars in question get smaller there is an inverse relationship to the time spent discussing the issue. I suspect this is because we can all relate to thousands of dollars but the millions or hundreds of millions of dollars is for someone else to deal with.
