If you ever cared to know much about the Ward 9 election and campaign finances, it looks like the shit is really hitting the fan and coming out on this Minneapolis Issues List post. Dave Bicking (Green) took some heat, but responded with an elucidating explanation of who supports Gary Schiff and what their connections are. Dave Bicking is particularly critical of the donations to Gary Schiff from businesses and Political Action Committees, and is prohibited from receiving them as a Green party-endorsed candidate.

It pleases to see when politicians get involved in their campaigns like this, and respond directly to criticism to even up the score. And now one of the donors has responded about their own donations, so it looks like the debate is heating up... I hope it gets more attention!
