Councilman Johnson stated that the campaign literature presented by these candidates
was particularly offensive at this time when the credibility of political officials
is so low in public opinion. He stated that the Mounds View Council has gone out
of its way to keep citizens informed. He expressed his disappointment that anyone
would think the voters of Mounds View could be swayed by such tactics.
Mayor Neisen introduced Mayor Farrell of Shoreview.
Councilman Hodges stated that he agreed with the Mayor's statements regarding the
campaign literature of Cox and Malvin. He noted that the architect that was selected
