Here's my question:
Why are these top slots assumed to have to go to "outsiders" via a national
search? Do you mean to tell me that there is not one visionary,
politically astute, committed, able body within our library system (or even
as far as the Hennepin County Library System) that could

because of the exorbitant executive pay of the manufacturers'/service

The only weighting problem
Just an FYI:
The population "equator" of Minneapolis is somewhere around 34th Street - SOUTH.
Hence, it's not surprising or particularly inequitable that there is heavy
representation of "southside" n'hoods in citywide groups.

It is encouraging to hear our new mayor decry the petty shenannigans of insider

oh-so-human tried and true political persuasion tactics used in almost every

The question about the library site continues. Should the new library be
built on the current ("south") block or be moved across 3rd Street to the
Nicollet Hotel ("north") block? The Implementation Committee is supposed to
decide the issue in mid-January, so there is still time for public commen
