Minneapolis Mayors First ‘09 challenger NRP’s Robert Miller

The Neighborhood Revitalization Program director, Robert Miller, says the Minneapolis mayor has let neighborhoods down, and he would correct that.

Miller, 60, who has directed the Minneapolis Neighborhood Revitalization Program since 1992, would become the first announced candidate in the 2009 Mayoral race. He plans to make his announcement at a Whittier neighborhood restaurant Thursday evening.

“The Minneapolis Neighborhood Revitalization Program is an innovative effort to bring residents into the priority-setting process of their city. It is based on the belief that the empowerment of residents and the mobilization of untapped resources, energy and creativity can make our progressive vision of the future a reality,” says Miller.

 

Robert Miller, who first tutored R.T. Rybak on neighborhood issues and then grew disillusioned with the Minneapolis mayor’s neighborhood policies, plans to announce his candidacy for Minneapolis Mayor.
