I’m going to the Highland Park Community Council meeting this evening, at the Highland Community Center, to watch as the new, GOP-led board starts digging into…<\/p>\n

…well, we don’t know what.\u00a0 It could be years of mismanagement.\u00a0 It could be (and there are indications of this) the result of a staffer who just wasn’t much for paperwork (I’m the last one to cast the first stone on that count).<\/p>\n

The meeting is at 7PM this evening at the Highland Community Center, which is in the Highland Park Library building.<\/p>\n

But most importantly – if Republicans ever going to make a difference in Saint Paul, it’ll be by changing things from the grass roots on up.<\/em>\u00a0 The victory in Highland was a good, long-overdue start.\u00a0 And not just tonight, but at your <\/em>‘hood’s community council elections.<\/p>\n

Commenter Fresch Fisch noted on Monday<\/a>:<\/p>\n

This is the spark that needs the fuel folks. If you live in St. Paul, no matter which neighborhood, you must be there. If you are a blogger, you must be there to compensate for the \u201cunder-reporting\u201d the Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, Villager, and Avenues newspapers will give this story. If you are just a Republican, we need your help, SHOW UP AND GIVE US A SHOW OF SUPPORT! If you ever want Saint Paul Republicans to be competitive, well, here\u2019s your chance. This is where it starts folks, at the grass roots level.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is an exciting time in Saint Paul GOP circles.\u00a0 Oh, we have nowhere to go but up,\u00a0it’s true – but with new leadership and an upset victory under our belts, it’s high time we started climbing. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Hope you can join us there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
