[Mpls] Suing;Pennies from Heaven;33rd and Stinson

Suing OK, obvious that Heller and Graham flamboyantly missed the message again. Suing "The City" is most EMPHATICALLY not suing Sayles Belton, Cherryhomes, or anyone like that. They will never lose a DIME when you sue "The City". If they are your grievance, confound it, sue them PERSONALLY!

[Mpls] City asks for extension of 7 year deadline to replace Holman housing while giving citizen no time to repaint

I note with interest how our City's attorneys are pleading for extra time after being in seven long years unable or more likely unwilling to comply with the Holman decree they so eagerly signed. With many who were evicted from the old "projects" left homeless and lost to (city) followup we cle

[Mpls] 33rd and Stinson

I was in the bakery this morning on 29th and Johnson NE (Sarah Jane's- voted #1 donuts by City Pages) and a sign in the window said that the property on the southwest corner of 33rd and Stinson Boulevard had been sold to "Minneapolis Public Housing". The property is a cute little dime store

[Mpls] Hollman

Doug Mann said: "It would be a mistake to not ask for stiff monetary penalties against the City for further delays (the city needs an incentive to get the job done on time)." Brandt here: Legal Aid has asked the city in hypothetical terms to put $300,000 into the Affordable Housing Trust Fund in

[Mpls] NAACP infighting (2002 branch elections)

What would be so bad about the NAACP being run by people supported by the majority of the NAACP membership? If allow to do so through a fair process they would probably chose the wrong leaders, from the Strib's point of view. NAACP branch leaders acceptable to the Strib are unlikely to have the

Re: [Mpls] Doug Grow on Mpls NAACP infighting

Anyone even marginally aware of the struggle within the NAACP knows that it is about efforts by the white power structure to insert their operatives into the organization to maintain the status quo. The NAACP was going to be given money to monitor the consent decree in the lawsuit against the s
