[Mpls] 13th Ward Race

[G. R. Anderson]

Folks: While I appreciate Mr. Carlson's posting of my story here, he
does note an error and I wish to clarify: The factual error is my fault,
not Steve Minn's, and he did indeed cite Carol Johnson's tenure in our
interview. That was inadvertently cut in a revision--the mistake is not
Mr. Minn's. Apologies to him, and to Ms. Johnson. A correction will run
in next Wednesday's City Pages.

Subject: [Mpls] 13th Ward Race

There's an excellent article on today's City Pages about what is shaping
up as one of the more hotly contested ward races in the City, the 13th
Ward.  Here's the link:

One key statement is that both Lisa McDonald and Betsey Hodges think it
will take 100K to run the race and both think they can raise that
amount!  Surely that's gotta be a record for Ward race.  

One minor quibble -- Steve Minn is quoted as saying that the area hasn't
been represented by a Democrat in 25 years.  However DFLer Carol Johnson
representated that area from 1987-1991, although she was so ineffective
I guess Minn could be considered technically correct.
