Some of this list serve may remember George Latimer.   He was re-elected more 
times in the 80's than any other mayor in St. Paul's history.

Latimer was a strong environmentalist.   At one point, Robert Redford came 
into work with him.   At the same time, Latimer worked hard to help businesses 
in this city make more money.   (Full disclosure - Latimer asked me to manage 2 
of his mayoral campaigns)

I don't think the two efforts are always in conflict.   Latimer and many 
others prize clear air, water, etc.   We also want to have businesses in this 
town 
that will pay good wages.   The only way they can do that is to make money.   
A strong community needs successful businesses, as well as non-profits.

It concerns me to read some comments that are vigorously anti-business 
comments.
