[Mpls] Caucus

[Melendez, Brian]

	Dean Johnson wrote, "Also remember the City DFL Central
Committee (or whatever they are called) opposed the switch from
presidential year caucuses to city election year caucuses."

	[BRM] Sorry, but that statement is simply untrue. The 2001 City
DFL Convention adopted the constitutional amendment that provides for
the City-only caucuses. The 2004 City Convention rejected a proposed
amendment that would have repealed the 2001 amendment. The City DFL
Central Committee cannot amend the constitution and has not considered
the issue. The City Central Committee did adopt the bylaws provisions,
as the constitutional amendment required, that implemented the City-only
caucuses.
