The common feature of many, if not most, of the supporters of this group are that they are also supporters of the attempt to do a misguided transfer of parkland to a private religious institution, IE, a part of the metro regional parkland on Nicollet Island to DeLaSalle high school. In their support of the 5 member bullying majority on the park board, they are also asking to continue the dysfunction of the last few years. I urge anyone who thinks this is not a problem to check out a few park board meetings and look at the rushed (in order to finish before a new park board is in place) process for the Nicollet Island decision. This has been characterized by a distorted composition of a citizens advisory committee (CAC), a tight schedule and outright lies in the testimony of park board staff. Disclaimer, I do live there, but that means I am intimately familiar with the mixture of students, walkers, runners, bikers, horse drawn carriages, Segway tours and historical tours that characterize the venue.
