Not sure if this would be a good/healthy discussion, but its something worth thinking about. Don't we import about 20,000 workers from surrounding communities? Seems to me I remember reading this somewhere not too long ago. Seems to me they have a viable stake in St Paul policy discussions, as would perhaps any suburbanite who stands to benefit by a strong urban core (and along that vein should perhaps contribute to same). --Jennifer Armstrong Payne/Phalen _____________________________________________ NEW ADDRESS FOR LIST: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, modify subscription, or get your password - visit: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/listinfo/stpaul Archive Address: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/private/stpaul/
