Seeing as neither Hennepin County Commissioners Opat nor Stenglein found the letters I wrote to them (see below) interesting enough to merit a response, I thought Camden News readers might be interested in a couple examples of ignored community support to move forward with the new Webber Park Library project. I would also like to comment on Commissioner Opat's statement from the June Camden Community News article, "A murky future for Webber Library," where it quotes him saying, "The people of North Minneapolis don't ask for much and they don't get it either." We do ask, at the very least, for a response to our letters, and at the most, for their content to be considered and acted upon by our elected leaders. At least he was half correct - we sure don't get much here in North Minneapolis.
