[Mpls] Commentary: Ron Edwards: Legacy of Natalie Johnson Lee

[Loki Anderson]

  It's B), though you wouldn't know it by the Green Party talking points which get regurgitated onto this list every now and then. For the record, the members of the commission were:
   
  Republican
  Parker Trostel (Chair)
  Michael Finch
  Lyall Schwarzkopf
   
  IP
  Karen Collier
  Todd Ferrara
   
  DFL
  Steve Claypatch
  Everett Pettiford
  Rick Stafford (appt. by Council Majority)
   
  Green
  Fred Markus (appt. by Council Minority)
   
  By my math, that's three Republican appointees, two Independence Party appointees, three DFLers and one Green appointee.
