Thinking about parks

I've been following a few municipal races lately, seeing as I've dropped from the City Council race and thrown my support to Diane Hofstede. There is a wide-open field for Library Board. Victor Grambsch is a candidate who strikes me as understanding that we don't build libraries for today, but rather for 20 years down the road. It does not appear as though Victor has a web site yet. In other City Council races I'm also excited about Betsey Hodges in the 13th Ward, and I've been following the 8th race also. I don't have a favorite, but Marie Hauser is running, and given that she has been a participant in Park Board shenanigans, I find it very difficult to understand how we could support her run for City Council. The Minneapolis City Council has worked hard, too slowly at times, but hard nonetheless, to improve on transparency and accountability. The Park Board has done no such thing.
I said a week and a half ago that I would keep on writing. Well, there is still a lot to write about concerning what's next for the City of Minneapolis.
