The Green Party today declared its support for students of Central High School and other members of Youth Against War and Racism (YAWR) in their demand that military recruiters receive no preferred treatment at St. Paul public high schools. While recognizing that the federal No Child Left Behind Act makes it almost mandatory for schools to admit military recruiters, the students ask that the military, like college and job recruiters, be restricted to the school's Career Resource Center.
The Green Party of St. Paul voted unanimously on October 7 to endorse John Loban in his run for soil and water commissioner from District 4. The district, which includes all of St. Paul west of Rice Street on the north and Robert Street on the south, is now represented by MaryJane (Rachner) Reagan.
Today the Green Party of St. Paul unanimously endorsed Elizabeth Dickinson in her race for mayor. Twenty voting members agreed that Dickinson represents the positive values of the Green Party and voted also to support her with the maximum allowable contribution from the party¹s treasury. They were cheered by a number of visitors and newcomers who attended the meeting.
