Star Tribune Letters: Bigger Than Nicollet Island
In the June 6 Star Tribune online edition, Arlene Fried writes:
When Garrison Keillor canceled his appearance at the recent River Roots Revue fundraiser, he dismissed the DeLaSalle stadium controversy as a local land-use issue.
If all land-use controversies were considered local and of concern only to those immediately impacted, then there would be no organizations such as the Trust for Historic Preservation, the Nature Conservancy or the Trust for Public Land.
I am glad that my contributions to these organizations support causes I believe to be important, even though they may be in areas of the country (or world) far from my own Bryn Mawr neighborhood. And I believe the DeLaSalle stadium issue goes far beyond the confines of Nicollet Island.
