Yes, the school referendum especially is very exciting. Something like 89%
of those voting for that referendum don't have kids: speaks very well of
the Minneapolis Citizenry.
Regarding the libraries, I'm very happy for them as well and hope we can
make sure enough fiscal intelligence can be broug
For those of you up late and not tuned in to Minneapolis stuff, both the
library and schools referenda passed overwhelmingly -- libraries by 2-to-1
and schools by nearly 3-to-1. Maybe that tax cut the Republicans in
Washington will send us will pay for the tax hike locally. (Joke! Joke!

We are in 60A - 5th Ward, I believe. We got some literature from Gore, some
