[Mpls] I am a subscribed member and would like to make a post tothe Metro Issues Forum

[Karen Forbes]

I will be waiting to hear from KFAI and Mr. MacFarlane about this matter.
If someone is gracious enough to have a candidate forum the least that
should happen is that all the candidates be invited. There would be the hope
that the organizers would be non-partisan.  To exclude a candidate sounds
much like a bias on the part of the organizers. I would be curious to know
who all the invited candidates were.  Were there other candidates that were
also excluded?
