I don't get it. The voters have said NO repeatedly to stadium subsidies.
Yet the requests keep on coming in.
I agree with Lisa McDonald, and I think I'd like a McDonald lawn sign also.
Terrell said it eloquently and well about TIF financing and what it does to
our city.
Another thing worth noting: in our heavily DFL dominated city, we seem to
have a bit of a problem with the police killing mentally ill people. That
latest shooting of Alfred Saunders.
There was quite a gathering at 35th and Chicago on Saturday demanding a
full investigation into this shooting. I hope that this goes beyond
investigation, and that the MPD re-evaluates there procedures--because they
need to get better at dealing with situations when they are prepared ahead
of time knowing the person is mentally ill. In this case, apparently the
family of Saunders had called the police, and told them he was mentally ill.
