St. Paul Issues Forum is an online announcement and discussion forum on public issues in St. Paul. Discussions of a substantial and respectful nature are expected on this city-wide issue-based forum.Discussion topics include agenda items or issues that you feel should be addressed by:
- St. Paul City Council
- St. Paul City Staff / Mayor's Office
- St. Paul School Board
- St. Paul related items before the Ramsey County Board
- Any other elected or appointed City Board (Zoning, etc)
This Forum is also intended to be a place for neighborhoods and Community District Councils to discuss issues, ask advice, share opinions, and generally organize.
Official bodies and civic organizations are highly encouraged to make meeting announcements, agendas, and information on new online resources available.
General discussions among St. Paulites outside the charter scope must be taken to other online forums. This community forum welcomes and encourages a diversity of opinions and backgrounds. This forum is about open exchange and information sharing and not about being right with one's ideology. Attempts to "win" an online discussion are discouraged. Remember: in this particular forum, we are all neighbors!

Please note that you have a choice of your preferred method of participation - web or e-mail. The e-mail participation is different than a basic e-mail discussion list, but is easy to learn.
