-----Original Message----- From: Lou DeMars [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] <mailto:[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]> Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2002 10:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : September 21 digest Fred Markus Lou DeMars ([EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ) A few points of history re the Fred Markus Message 2 -- 9/21/02 I was also around and a witness for the prosecution in the Zollie Green trial. He was found not guilty by the court. Regarding Lou DeMars HAD to move on is not quite accurate. Lou Demars chose to move on because 8 years is enough for anyone in one office and he never intended to make politics a life long career. Time to serve and then time to move on!!! Lou DeMars Message: 2 From: "Fredric Markus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Mpls] response to Wizard Marks Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2002 22:12:55 -0500 I was around when Zollie Green got nailed, to use an indelicate term, and even as "out to lunch" as I was in those long ago days, I think I'd remember if Ed Felien, whom I had known previously as a fellow free school teacher, had come to such a bad end. I'm glad Ed is running for Peter's job because I think that Ed makes some sound points. I wasn't in favor of the original domed stadium and I still don't like the idea of shoveling the public's money into private corporate pockets. I think Peter has many redeeming qualities but nothing is forever and just as Lou DeMars had to move on - and Jackie Cherryhomes - maybe the time has come for some harder-edged advocacy for the core constituencies in the county commissioner district just to my east. Ed gets preachy sometimes - remember Tim Campbell's more pontifical moments? - but Ed's long years of involvement in South Minneapolis are worth more respectful comment than any offhand comparison to Dick Franson's quixotic humors. I appreciate Ed's publications for the exposure they give to young writers, the venues they provide for new entrepreneurs, and the sense of community they reinforce for a large part of our city. I'm glad the Greens have taken up Ed's banner because frankly the political grass is a bit greener on my political party's side of the fence and Ed has long since earned his stripes in the progressive community.
