Index of SPPS Budget Discussion http://www.e-democracy.org/stpaul/spps-posts.html _________________________________________ The Park Avenue Methodist Church is having a second rally on Sunday to demand an end to the transit strike.
The Church is asking everyone who believes in transit to drive to work no faster than 40 miles an hour. Here is the article: http://www.startribune.com/stories/373/4702733.html From the article: Also, the church is calling for a slowdown on metro-area freeways as a show of concern for bus riders. "We urge all supporters of transit in the metro area to drive to work at the legal minimum speed of 40 miles per hour," said the Rev. Mark Horst, senior pastor at the church. "We will share the pain with the working poor and the disabled until the buses are back." As you drive to work, SLOWLY, imagine that you are are dragging a heavy wooden cross and that the jerk behind you honking his horn is a Roman soldier whipping you. It is better than listening to talk radio. Or you could imagine that Mel Gibson is paying you by the hour. Whatever. Peter Bell continues to insist that his request for a full year delay in the deadline for opening of LRT is not a negotiating ploy. Here is the story: http://www.twincities.com/mld/pioneerpress/8344072.htm Specialists who work on light rail might take other jobs. Here is a simpler solution: END THE STIKE! NEGOTIATE! Take the dispute to binding arbitration! Use R.T. Rybak's suggestion to bring in health care experts to help negotiate the health care portion of the contract! How can anyone doubt that Pawlenty and the Republicans who control state government are holding light rail hostage? The Feds have given us a new terrorism warning. They say terrorists may attack buses and trains. How do you tell the difference between a terrorist and a Republican politician, since they both attack buses and trains? The difference is that Republican politicans are much more effective than Al Quaida terrorists at wrecking mass transit. Osama bin Laden's job has been outsourced and he's getting a layoff notice! Crawl back in your caves, you Al Quaida terrorist ass-----, because Republican politicians in Minnesota are already destroying our mass transit system! And they are doing a better job wrecking it than Al Quaida terrorists could! Ed Fesler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
