Amen, Greg. Another list member said it very well several months ago when
this thing first broke..... to paraphrase, that lister implored RT to do the
right thing, and not wait for an "investigation" to absolve him. That's not
a "higher standard". That's poltical shell-games and pure BS.
RT still owes Minneapolis $32,000. RT, will that be cash or check?

Subject: [Mpls] City Pages: Confederacy of Dunces
Interesting blog entry over at City Pages -- http://
blogs.citypages.com/blotter/2005/08/confederacy_of.asp
I especially like frequent list contributor Barb Lickness' comment down
below -- people forget that RT ran four years ago that he was going to
set a "higher standard" for ethics in politics, and yet four years later,
RT's position seems to be "if it's not obviously illegal, it's OK."
This is not what people voted for in 2001.
