The response to your post, Andy, is that it takes courage. Something lacking
in a number of Council Members. It's "easier" to go along.

I'm sure that the reappointment of Chief Olson will be a polarizing event.
Many Council Members will feel that it's just not worth opposing the Mayor.
It takes a certain courage

approximately six weeks after the election. One of the questions that I had

The City does NOT fund the schools. Therefore, to say that the City could
provide money for the Mill City school is just not accurate. I agree with

Good question, Scott. That was what I thought when I read the article.

Carol - what happens if projects don't decertify? I seem to remember that
the City Center didn't decertify when it was suppose to.

The way the city charter is written, the Chief of Police is responsible only
to the Mayor. Please remember, the City Council members have little if any
authority over the police.

Thanks, Carol, for defending the choice of Pat Born. I think it is totally
unfair to start slinging mud at the guy when he hasn't even started. Give
the poor man a chance - then
Thanks for the wonderful update, Gus. I had a feeling about this and that's
why I was one of the few who did not vote for the referendum. It really
aggrevates me that we are told we are receiving enough information to make an
informed decision, and then something like your explanation comes o

I really find it hard to believe that someone went to Kinkos to have ballots
printed! That's bizarre. I really think the Director of Elections for the
City should be involved in responding to some of these issues. I have worked

That's heavy, but not unusually so. The precinct usual has about 2000 peo
