They will also endorse candidates for three at-large Park Board seats, and then break up to endorse for the six district seats. I have always thought that the major job of the Park Board was to fight off the constant effort of people to get their greedy hands on our—that is the Park Board’s—land. The fact that we have as much public land in the city as we do is a major contributor to the quality of life. We can thank tenacious Park Board members of the past for this.
This land does belong to the citizens of Minneapolis from the past and into the future and keeping "their greedy hands" off is the quality needed most in our commissioners in this day and age of "developers and corporations" first. I would certainly hope that at the DFL convention this weekend the candidates will include the statement "I will not sell parkland or give it away in a long term lease" in their introduction.
