[Mpls] Media types continue to spread false information

[Victoria Heller]

Brauer:  "The state approved $87 million in 1998 for the Convention Center's
expansion - but that was two governors ago (remember Arne Carlson?)."

Heller:  Wrong again David.  

Finance Director Patrick Born should be your source.  A few months ago, I
posted to this List about a mystery donor of $80 million who Minneapolitans
should be thanking.  The next day, Mr. Born sent me an e-mail explaining
that the $80 million came from the State - for the Convention Center debt.

Look it up, or better yet, call Mr. Born.

No apologies necessary.  Now we all know why the citizens are confused and
ill-informed.
