The bonehead politicians in Minneapolis are about to commit historical hara-kiri. They seem to be all together on ramming the idiotic idea of giving the city library system to the county. Is there any other major city in the USA that has been unable to run their own library system, especially if that city happens to be the largest city in their respective states? If so, I'd like to know about it, because of all them that I'm aware of seem to be able to accomplish this seemingly insurmountable for Minneapolis task.
I'll bet even Omaha (as in "Cold Omaha") does a better job.
One library board member speaks out at this link: http://www.buzz.mn/?q=node/861
Then there is this little editorial in the Monday Star Tribune which demonstrates just what a bunch of bullshit the city hall argument about not enough money to run the libraries is. They currently spend far more to pay for the convention center than the libraries need, yet dollar for dollar, the libraries return a much higher economic value to the city.
