From Phil Young's 2008 2006 "Values" webpage:
Parks and Open Spaces: The park system drew my family to Eden Prairie and I am certain many other families say the same thing. Eden Prairie has an incredibly rich park system which benefits residents of all interests and ages. This must always be a priority.
OK, let's look at Donna Azarian's 2010 "Issues" webpage:

Hmmm.... pretty dam close... any more? But of course!
From Phil Young's 2008 2006 "Values" webpage:
Volunteerism: Eden Prairie is an extraordinarily blessed community. Proudly, our residents can claim that giving back has long been a community value. Lions, Rotary, PROP, ABC Foundation, Meals On Wheels, Friends of the Library, and the Eden Prairie Foundation are but a few of the many groups which strengthen our city through volunteerism. If you haven't conributed to one of these groups, please do. (emphasis added)

Young, 2008 2006:
...While every community should take steps to capture its past, our residents have told us that spending tax dollars on historical preservation is not a priority. The City Council should honor the community opinions which it has solicited.
Azarian, 2010:

I could go on; maybe someday I will. The question is, just who wrote that stuff??!?
Phil Young, or the local GOP "leadership"?
We know - KNOW - Donna Azarian didn't; there are too many exact - EXACT - cut 'n pastes for THAT to have happened. We also know (and if you didn't, you know now) that Donna Azarian's website was registered by Peter Bozanich, the GOP's SD42 webmaster.
At the national level, as I've said before: "When it comes to Republican Congressmen, the people elect them, but the GOP Leadership directs them."
It appears to be the same at the local level, too.
This November 2nd, on election day, the choice is clear:
a) Vote locally for someone endorsed with an "R" behind their name and you vote for someone responsible to the dictates of their endorser: the local GOP Party Leadership; or
b) Vote locally for someone without a party endorsement and you vote for someone responsible to you, the voter.
It really is that simple; a) or b).
And remember, as Young's and Azarian's websites demonstrate: "the more things, change, the more today's GOP doesn't."
Here's the links and screenshots of Young, 2008 2006 and Azarian, 2010, plus the "Who Is" screen shot of the registrar for Azarian's website, Peter Bozanich - the GOP's SD42 Webmaster.
