Energy and Transportation policy beget foreign and military policy. The way we live now demands war. Our infrastructure investment priorities here in Minneapolis directly impact our demand for oil. We have the power to choose peace by choosing to prioritize funding of low-energy transportation and urban infrastructure. This is one important aspect of our local policy that needs to be addressed clearly and consistently. Write your favorite mayoral candidate and ask him or her to make a public statement about the relationship between our urban infrastructure policies, energy, oil, and war. Ask all candidates for local office to describe how this understanding will affect their approach to public infrastructure project priorities. --pedaling for peace and ecojustice from Lynnhurst -- Gary Hoover REMINDERS: 1.
