5 April 2001 - 10:00am

The mayor of Eagan, MN, writes about local government politics and controlling growth.

"Abetted by allies in Congress and state legislatures, urban planners across the nation are seeking to control what they consider a growing menace--American's attraction to the suburban lifestyle...Essentially, it is the willingness to see suburban growth as a positive together with the belief in freedom promoted by keeping decision making over local matters close to home."
