How is it, then, that the Minnesota DFL's online DFL Event Calendar for October, 2008, under the headings "Lake County Progressives . . . Take back your City Council!" breathlessly touts an October 23 "discussion" with Shorewood City Council Candidates Scott Keen, Scott Zerby, Bob Edmundson and Debbie Siakel who "are joining together to take back their city council" and "bring a promise of positive leadership and teambuilding with our excellent mayor, Chris Lizee"? In addition to "beverages," the organizers say that they hope to have available "a copy of Michael Moore's newest documentary concerning getting out the Nov.4th vote of our young adults." If political parties are going to surreptitiously sponsor stealth candidates in this way, why not change the rules and have local candidates run with party endorsement. That would not necessarily be a desirable result, but at least it would be honest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292750108868935725.post-85340553921720671922008-09-03T10:42:00.000-07:002008-09-03T10:42:00.000-07:00I have heard that 4/5 of the current council has f...I have heard that 4/5 of the current council has filed for re-election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292750108868935725.post-64396526609944385732008-08-28T21:35:00.000-07:002008-08-28T21:35:00.000-07:00Even though the votes are rarely unanimous on cont...Even though the votes are rarely unanimous on controversial issues, all 5 must go?
