[Mpls] FW: SESSION DAILY: News from the House - Campaigning in apartment and condo buildings

[Terrell Brown]

The Legislature is considering making it easier to campaign in the
apartment, condo and townhouse buildings that comprise much of Minneapolis.

The House bill would allow campaign workers for a candidate access to these
buildings (assuming that they can find someone to grant access), the Senate
bill (sponsored by Higgins, Scheid and others) was amended in committee to
include ballot issues and get out the vote drives.

Given the objections some have found from those living in some of these
buildings to people campaigning in these buildings it will be interesting to
see their reactions to increased door knocking and lit drops (it's a lot
easier and quicker to lit drop a 300 unit building than 300 houses in south
Minneapolis)
