Current board reopened what everyone thought was a settled issue, so let's do it again! We still have an adopted long range plan in place that supports doing the fiscally responsible thing.
This is @wedge.live area of expertise but iirc the current board only put the Uptown plan on ice, they didn’t kill it, but the delay maaaaybe killed the Met Council money?

The time is NOW to get involved in your local DFL unit. If you want to see change in the DFL, change will only happen from within, not by complaining on social media. At a more basic level, we simply need more volunteers, to run caucuses and conventions, and to win elections.

There's a lot of counting to be done. But one thing is very clear, Minneapolis wants a Park Board that takes climate SERIOUSLY! That refuses to cut youth programming! And stands by our labor allies!!!

Polls are closing, and we’ll be waiting a while for results. While you wait, please know I appreciate all your support and I am here for all of you. Because I believe this city can actually be what it claims to be- a place where all of us can have a better life. We can do that together.

Out door knocking with @katiecashman.bsky.social who had to stop to pick up trash. Still time to send her back to city hall for another 4 years. You’ll never see her opponents doing this #votedorkatie
