I have been up for around 48 hours so I cannot comment in detail on the Stonewall DFL endorsements and the Mayor's race. But I will say this. Sometime in the early 90's (I"ll find the exact year later), a proposal was introduced before the County Board that anyone who came into any Hennepin County medical facility for ANY kind of treatment, even a session with a psychologist, would have to take an AIDS test (actually an HIV antibody test) to prevent patient to physician transmission. ACT-UP lobbied against this proposal and I was heavily involved with the lobbying. Mark Andrew was, of course, one of our strongest supporters but I soon realized that Peter MacLaughlin was an even stronger supporter. They were both excellent but MacLaughlin was even better. I hope we have a Green candidate for Mayor so I won't have to settle for a DFL'er. But lacking that, although Rybek has positive qualities (although I have the impression I may find some negatives on further investigation), I, at the moment, intend to vote for MacLauughlin if there is no Green in the race.
