Dear Fellow Minneapolis Citizens: The process for neighborhood groups to come into compliance with state laws is for them to have by-law changes go before their membership bodies that will bring them into compliance. True, some state laws do take precedence over organization by-laws. However, the situation at the V V meeting is not one of them. After observing the meeting in person and viewing a video tape of the meeting later, I can only conclude that the meeting was illegal. This situation should not go unnoticed. Those responsible for the actions taken at the meeting should be held accountable and hopefully will. I think that it is time to stop going back and forth about it, the video speaks for itself. Will V V be sued for its actions? What of the claim that Mr. Miller (NRP) was a part of the actions. Will our city officials see the hampering of legal voters as an issue to deal with? Will not these same citizens soon be voting for some city official offices? What will current city officials in office do when confronted with a video tape of an illegal meeting that shows Racal divide within one of its communities? Will we once again hear" this is not a race issue?" I wonder how often the citizens in Ohio heard that! I know that I have heard it enough in the city of Minneapolis to know that there is a race issue that includes a number of different races. Will our city officials that control everything in the city actually do something about our race issues and this illegal meeting? When will we as citizens of this city hold those in control accountable for their actions and neglect of the Racal divide in the city? Or has it been determined that it is cheeper to pay individuals one by one that have enough fight in them to sue the city. Time will only tell.
