Musings of Phil Young. Random thoughts on various topics by a guy who used to be the mayor of Eden Prairie. Saturday, December 17, 2011. Regrettable, but not terminal. The MN GOP had a bad couple of days. Certainly in the media. While I have several thoughts about that I'm just going to share an anecdote which may reveal how i feel about these issues and whether they are or should be politically career-ending.

Musings of Phil Young. Random thoughts on various topics by a guy who used to be the mayor of Eden Prairie. Friday, March 30, 2012. Worried about his job. Sent: Monday, March 22, 2010 11:17 AM. To: Young, Philip J. I feel like the position that I'm in is more complicated than you do. Like to talk with you more about it personally rather than email, if that's. I would use that time to respond to your specific points, but I'd. Also like to talk about my future here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Musings of Phil Young: A unanimous Eden Prairie budget
http://philyoungedenprairie.blogspot.com/2011/12/unanimous-eden-prairie-budget.html
Musings of Phil Young. Random thoughts on various topics by a guy who used to be the mayor of Eden Prairie. Thursday, December 8, 2011. A unanimous Eden Prairie budget. Just a few random thoughts on the passage of the Eden Prairie budget. I was disappointed that it passed unanimously. I thought one council member would have done something to hold the budget flat. What exactly is the average compensation package for Eden Prairie employees? I bet it's north of $75,000, excluding pension.

Musings of Phil Young. Random thoughts on various topics by a guy who used to be the mayor of Eden Prairie. Thursday, October 27, 2011. There's rarely an agenda for our meetings, although recently that's changed a little bit. But, one thing remains true-i always leave our meetings with a smile on my face. I'm an introvert by nature and not-at-all easy to engage. But, I'm grateful that Gary has put up with my bs. Everyone needs a friend like him. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Musings of Phil Young. Random thoughts on various topics by a guy who used to be the mayor of Eden Prairie. Friday, November 9, 2012. Dick Proops and the Budget Advisory Commission. BAC members were initially set to for three year terms from April of the year of their appointment through March. This was changed to match our budget cycle so that members were appointed effective January of each year. And, terms were changed so that they were four year terms.

I ran the Excelsior 10k Firecracker race this morning. It's a nice run that I haven't done in about five years or so. I remember the last time I ran it one of the sponsors was a dentist; and, he handed our Krispy Kreme donuts at the end of the race. I had to chuckle at the irony as I wolfed down a couple. Sunday, July 3, 2011. Residents and busines...

Musings of Phil Young. Random thoughts on various topics by a guy who used to be the mayor of Eden Prairie. Sunday, May 25, 2014. Eden Prairie's hidden 6% tax increase. Cities usually pay for the rebuild of neighborhood roads in two ways. One way is to "specially assess" the properties in the neighborhood. This can be an unexpected (and expensive) shock to residents when its their turn, with residents commonly having to pay $7,000-$10,000 (usually over 10 years) to have their road rebuilt. The city creat...

Musings of Phil Young: October 2012

Musings of Phil Young. Random thoughts on various topics by a guy who used to be the mayor of Eden Prairie. Friday, October 26, 2012. Brad Aho is taking credit for my idea. Yesterday's Eden Prairie News included an election commentary by Aho in which he stated that he "initiated" the Budget Advisory Commission. As a city commission can only be created by an act of the city council, which requires 3 votes, Aho must have been trying to claim that the BAC was his idea, or that he championed it.
