Yet, the question remained whether predominantly white voters could look beyond their own color issues to elect him. This predominantly white voter had no color issue with Ralph Remington. I didn't vote for him because Ralph came up wrong on the big issue, at least for me, in the campaign. I thought the Ackerburg project at Lagoon and Hennepin was exactly what Uptown and the city needed. Ralph opposed it for who knows what reason. Size. Too tall. As if a commercial node in a city cannot bear a 13 story building. And another thing. Funny how the Strib, which endorsed Ralph, just came out and admonished the citizens not to be afraid of height. Something about a big city needs big buildings. Who knows what they are really thinking. Mark Greenwald The Wedge REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
