**** We Reached Our Goal - Thanks *****
Ed Fesler has put forward a very reasonable argument. If we have
enough money to build the Twins and the Vikings a half billion dollar
stadium, each, we have enough money to simply settle the transit
strike by making a reasonable offer to the union. Frankly, transportation
is not a luxury item, and new stadiums are, so if we don't have enough
money to end the transit strike, we obviously don't have enough to pay
for the stadiums. Period.
On another MN/DoT issue, I read in the Asian American Press that
MN/DoT has finally settled with Adeel Lari. MN/DoT lost 800K, gave him a
promotion and were forced to apologize for their unwarranted prosecution
of the man. Does anyone know if the individuals responsible for this have
been fired? The article did not say.

What does Pawlenty want more?
Let's put the stadium boosters on the spot.
Why don't we ask our legislators to sign a written pledge promising
not to support a stadium bill until the bus strike is settled?
I don't have anything written. Maybe anti-stadium groups could get
together with the strike support committee and put something together.
We can ask the Mpls and St. Paul city councils to pass resolutions
saying that no stadium bill should pass until Metro Transit and Local
1005 reach agreement.
The St. Paul stadium boosters will hate this idea.
Most of our elected officals in Minneapolis know that ending the
bus strike is more important than building stadiums.
