Seems like the Mayor didn't like Finney posting:
Re: [StPaul] What did Mayor Kelly know and when did he
know it ?

So we are to believe that instead of acting in the
best interests of the city he was elected chief
executive of, he decided that it was better to act in
the capacity of an undercover law enforcement officer.
That is seeking the best prosecution case against a
subject rather then protecting and preventing the
embarrassment to the city he took an oath to serve.
Is it unreasonable to expect that there were no other
alternatives or courses of action available to a
mayor short of doing nothing while waiting for the
FBI to act? In a city with 3000 plus jobs, would a
simple mobility transfer of the investigation's
subject to an assignment out of the Office of the
Mayor have been onerous? Do you truly believe that the
FBI would intrude on a mayor's obligation to protect
his city and to their investigation by seeking
the mayor's inaction?
Bill Finney
EY: As others have said, this is a discussion list
not a chat room.
Seems like the Mayor's Office is getting a bit testy
about the criticism on this list.
Contrast Kelly and Rybak in Minneapolis. RT Rybak has
been very effective at using the Minneapolis Issues
list as an organizing tool for his campaign when he
ran 4 years ago. He's on the list less now as Mayor -
so he seems to be running more of a Rose Garden
Strategy now.
When Kelly was on Tom Hauser's show, he attributed the
press coverage of this corruption probe to leaks from
Bill Finney.
