Calls for a Mayoral Forum in Each Saint Paul Neighborhood
SAINT
PAUL, MN -Mayoral Candidate Bob Long challenged his opponents
in the Mayoral race to join him in calling for Mayoral candidate
forums in each of Saint Pauls distinct neighborhoods
before the September 11 primary.
Long
said, "The salient issues in this campaign are in our
neighborhoods. When Im out talking with voters, the
issues that most often come up include the West Seventh
Busway, the Como area Bus routing decision, redevelopment
of brownfields such as the Maxson Steel site, the Ethanol
Plant and other specific neighborhood concerns.
Long
added, "It is very important for residents in each
of our neighborhoods to hear our views on these very specific
neighborhood issues that so greatly affect their quality
of life."
Long
sent a letter to each of the 17 district councils asking
them to consider holding a forum or working with one or
two adjacent district councils to sponsor a joint forum.
Long also sent a letter to each of his major opponents asking
them to join him in the request for the Mayoral forums.
