He views the Met Council as <br />another layer of bureaucracy; and questioned its need when the New Brighton <br />community has a strong, close relationship to its City Council. He did not support <br />Myron Orfield's Metropolitan Area Tax Base Equalization Bill because he felt it did <br />not serve New Brighton needs. <br /> <br />Williams noted the issue of welfare reform and asked who would pay for day care <br />costs for single working mothers. Pellow said the state will provide those monies. <br /> <br />Council Agenda <br /> <br />Council Minutes <br /> <br />Commission Minutes <br /> <br />Special Order of <br />Business <br /> <br />Dick Pellow <br />Legislative Update <br />
