Without getting too far into minutiae, I'll say for
the record that it was Wizard Marks, and not our
esteemed moderator who used the adjectives to which I
referred.
No Matter.
I was not (neccessarily) trying to suggest that we
elect Republicans in Mpls and that will solve our
problems. I was po
This point has been referenced earlier, but I see a
need for it to be spelled out:
Republicans are in the majority in the House. We in
Minneapolis did not elect a single one of them. These
folks try to do what their constituents will like, so
they can preserve their seat.
Why WOULD they be cho

"The Minneapolis branch of the republican party has
been taken over by extreme, hard-line conservatives --
such that any republican that might have a chance of
winning an election in Minneapolis will never be
endorsed by them."

Now that we're talking about Mark Stenglein, I'd like
to encourage everyone to take a look at the Hennepin
County website, where you can find out what Mark's
been up to all this time.
(Sorry I don't know how to put links in... I'm a
neophyte at this email stuff.)

Thanks to all who joined us at the Mark Stenglein for
Mayor rally this afternoon! When was the last time
you had a chance to sing along with a ragtime band
while eating root beer floats and kissing babies in
the rain on the West Bank???
It was a great turnout, full of energy, despite the
rain.
Hello List Members,
Have you met Hennepin County Commissioner Mark
Stenglein yet? Heard his take on various Minneapolis
issues? Gotten a sticker?
Well here's your chance! Please join us tomorrow,
Saturday the 5th of May, at 12:00 noon at Sgt.
Preston's on the West Bank. We'll pry, probe, a

in Ventura Village last month, most of you remember

During a few recent trips to Mexico, I was constantly
amused by the lack of "drive-thru" service at fast

My name is Connie Sheppard, and I'm a member of
Ventura Village. (I'm sad that I missed an
opportunity for introduction at the meeting, it seems
you were there and I didn't know it.) I'm the one you
referred to for saying that vulnerable people would be

Hello All,
Now I know everyone's sick of butterfly ballots,
pregnant chads, etc, but I really would like some
commentary on last night's election "irregularities"
in Ventura Village's neighborhood meeting. I need
help in figuring this out.
First of all, I should say that in my experience,
we've
In response to the complaints about lack of effective
policing in Phillips (where I live, one block off
Franklin) I am inclined to investigate other reasons
than those proffered.
Judging by the drastic decline in police stops from
January 2001 to February 2001, (about 5,000 less) I'd
say that som
