We came. They saw. We dialogued :)
The Mayor hand delivered a permit application. We obliged her and filed it.
We then met with the City in order to reach solutions for our encampment in cooperation with the City.
Having no time constraints on approving or denying the permit application that Mayor Carolyn Peterson hand delivered to us, personally - the City flatly denied it. They then, admitted they had no sincere intention of considering it in the first place.
They have asked us about our willingness to negotiate.
On almost every issue they raise, our answer has been, "Yes, we can negotiate on that."
We have asked them to put something on the table... anything... anything at all...
...we're still waiting.
