The Lyndale Voter Guide was put together by the Lyndale Neighborhood Association to provide Lyndale Community Members with information on the the local candidates running for office.  Lyndale residents who live in precinct 8-1 vote at Horn Towers and residents who live in precinct 8-2 vote at Painter Park.

At the September General Membership meeting the neighborhood voted to have LNA oppose the Voter ID Constitutional Amendment on this year’s ballot. The amendment would change Minnesota’s Constitution to require that all voters present a government issued photographic ID before receiving a ballot.

At the meeting, there were a number of concerns raised about the potential amendment. The primary reasons why people were opposed to the amendment were:

You can almost feel it percolating up.  It’s that feeling in the air when you know something big is coming; only you don’t know what it is or when it is going to happen.  That seems to be what’s going on in Lyndale right now.

Throughout the month of November, LNA will be focusing on three projects that have the potential to have a major impact on Lyndale; and while none of the projects is imminent all of them have a realistic chance of happening in future and have the ability to reshape the neighborhood.
