The Spokesman Recorder has weighed in on the JACC controversy and come down firmly on the side of the "New Majority" faction, click here for article. This is significant, because of the weight this venerable grassroots publication carries in North Minneapolis...and beyond.

Though mostly a rehashing of information that's been available on the internet for about a week, the article does break some new ground; for example discussing how so much JACC money has been spent on administrative overhead in Jordan that now funds aren't available for the new board to pay, for example, salaries.

Money is apparently left for HOUSING issues, however. And that's good. Some of the "New Majority" ran for their board seats on "livability" issues.

The Spokesman Recorder article obviously went to press before the interesting new developments with a lawsuit filed by members of the "Old Majority" faction.

I must say this: when a newspaper's website plays second fiddle to its printed publication, the reader loses...twice.

Paper is dead. Long live the blogosphere.
