The 2008 Minneapolis/St. Paul Republican National Convention Host Committee will soon disband and hand over close to $7 million in leftover funds to three local foundations: the Minneapolis Foundation, the St. Paul Foundation, and the Minnesota Community Foundation (the last two being under one umbrella).
Clearly, the money will come in handy, but how do we feel about this … uh… controversial convention being the source of so much community funding?
Latest comment — Erica M: Enh, at least some good came out of it. Eventually.
