1. Ventura Village demonstrated that the Sabri's could be slowed down 
in their attempts to take over neighborhoods.  Though Central Neighborhood 
suffered this fate, that same Ventura Village demonstration and the 
help of Ventura Village residents certainly aided Whittier in resisting another 
Sabri assault.  (Also, with no small thanks to Gary Schiff for his help in 
stopping the latest one, the Elroy Block slight of hand).  Hopefully, 
justice will finally reach out and touch Basim Sabri next week when he 
finally must answer to justice and face a judge and jury for his 
attempt to bribe a Minneapolis City Council Member.  That effort broadcast to the 
whole Twin Cities via television news was attempted in order for Sabri to 
gain access to NRP and other City funds and further City owned property.  A 
Federal Judge will hopefully make an example of Basim Sabri at the end 
of that trial. It is paradoxical that Keith's question comes at this time 
because Basim Sabri's first attempt on Ventura Village came in an 
attempt to bring a hoard of outsiders in to vote illegally on behalf of PPL and 
their CVI project.  One can only wonder about the connection between Basim 
Sabri and PPL, and their allied efforts at illegal development.  Sabri 
certainly presented himself as part of PPL's development team, and the PPL 
representatives allowed him to publicly do so. Though I am sure that 
now that Sabri is going to court PPL will deny any such "affiliation".

Can someone provide more background on this, or tell me where to find it?  Thanks!  Sabri's seem to be invading many neighborhoods, it's good to see a few council members standing up against the tyranny.
