I've been reading a few of these emails about Rep. Kahn and the proposed bill re. city elections.
I strongly oppose this bill but really feel those who have questioned Rep. Kahn's motives are off base. I've heard Rep. Kahn at both hearings, read her posts, and talked to her about this. I believe she sees this as a legit. public policy debate...and she has a couple of decades of record showing she is willing to ask broad philosophical questions. She's not a party hack; never has been, never will be. Quite a few hacks, and opportunists, and people who just want to get back at Minneapolis for whatever reason, have joined her cause, but I don't think she is in it for partisan reasons. I think she is wrong, and I think this is just about the LAST thing Minneapolis needs at a time when every legislator...and every citizen...should set all these distracting, divisive issues aside to strongly unite behind fighting a proposed $80 million cut that will have a devastating effect on all of us....but I do think she is sincere.

Cut as much of the post you're responding to as possible. ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
