It just dawned on me that I don't know
Progressive Minnesota's Agenda for 2001. I know
that Progressive Minnesota is against the Stadium
and for affordable housing, but that's it.
I would imagine that if I don't know there are
probably other folks on this list that don't know
either.
Someone suggested to me that Buck Humphrey was brought
on board to work on the Mayor's re-election campaign.
I would never suggest that myself. Does anyone know
what Mr. Humphrey actually does in the Mayor's office.

The disclaimer noted in Sharon's letter is all that is required by law.
Therefore, I don't see anything sinister in it.
However, the promises in her letter seem to be same-old, same-old. Doesn't

Dear Mayor Sayles Belton,
Since you have been unwilling to contact me yourself, I have decided to
respond to your delegates letter online in the Minneapolis Issues Forum.
Accordingly, I have the following responses to your priority bullet points:

I'll jump in on the issue...
Since the issue came to the forefront in 1997, I have consistently and actively
opposed any public subsidy for a professional sports stadium. There is no financial
benefit to cities footing the bill and few if any other benefits. When there are far

Some years back PM endorsed Linda Higgins. PM's language vs the stadium

including the anti-stadium item. PM poured in workers; Higgins won by a

elected she
The thing I find ironic about this paid polling, is why isn't Sayles Belton
attracting volunteers for this?
I've never liked these polls much, because they usually don't describe the

rediculous subsidy/debt" Or maybe: R

A supplemental point. St Cloud is outside the metro calling area, so the
calls are subject to a long distance charge (unless a special 612, 763,

The AFL-CIO is overly cautious with its endorsements. This is a thank you to

Well, I finally answered the mayor's poll last night (answers: yes, I'll be
at the endorsing convention May 5; undecided; affordable housing and - just
