Both resofutions address legitimate pubiic interests and neither resolution piaces an undue burden on afifected businesses. Each of you was elected to office with the endorsement and support of the St: Paul DFL Party. Individually and collectively, you have expressed the desire to put the City's interests first while establishing the independence of the St. Paul City Council.
