Index of SPPS Budget Discussion http://www.e-democracy.org/stpaul/spps-posts.html _________________________________________ The difference between sports and the arts is simple. Professional sports teams are owned by multi-millionaires. Most of their employees make multiple millions each year. On the other hand, arts organizations, in most cases are non-profit. Only the best employees may make a good salary. In most cases the annual salary is around the state's average. So why should I pay anything to help someone build a workplace for his employees when he has the ability to do it himself? Mike Fratto Payne Phalen

As a like long union member 98 percent DFL voter 38 year St. Paul resident I am reaching the point of when I (white, male, sport enthuasist, music fan, arts fan and SUPPORTER) am about ready to say enough is enough. As a retired person I watch my pennies but if I have to support the arts why do I not have the opportunity to have some sports. Dave Thune should do some soul searching. I beleive he benefited from some taxpayers money in the past and I don't mean wages. The spelling may not be up to snuff but I hope you get the drift.
