Kudos to Annie for her good efforts on behalf of our parks. I, for one,
laud your availability to your constituants and your candor. Thank you and
best of luck in this year's election. We look forward to working with you
into the future.

Get UP! Get OUT! & GET INVOLVED!!!

It is my understanding (and please correct me if I am wrong) but if we
break the covenant with the Met Council we have to pay them back the funds
originally designated for public lands. And it is my understanding those
funds are about $1.3 million. It is almost as repulsive to me to have to
give money back as it is to sell park land.
Also, remember that there are lots of other approvals DeLaSalle has to get
before this grand scheme becomes reality.
I am working hard at remaining neutral and feel I am in an exploratory,
fact finding stage on both sides of this issue. As a community organizer
by profession I must say Mr. Derus and his crew are doing a great job
teaching the students and their parents the principles of organizing.
