Minneapolis. YIMBY. Bikes are good. 🌈
The brain rot is so deep with Star Tribune commenters and Carol B types. MPD received almost every penny they’ve asked for, exceeded their budget by $20 million, but it’s not MPD’s fault. Apparently we’re still supposed to blame the city council and attribute this to “defund the police”.

I’m OK with higher pay but this has to be one of the worst times ever to ask for this big of an increase. Between huge property tax increases for most and a shitty job market where most employees will be lucky to get even a 3% bump, the optics are brutal.
I want everyone to flip out over this proposal to give the mayor a $46,000 raise. I completely agree that our elected officials should be well paid. But people tear their hair out over council pay, so we need to bring that same energy to this one.

Shaffer struggled at tonight's Park Board meeting. Her colleagues not appreciating the last minute budget amendment and not wanting to sacrifice parkkeeper positions. Shaffer attempted to amend her resolution to take money from the land acquisition fund. But the vote to change the rules failed 7-2.
Minneapolis Park Board budget amendment from outgoing Commissioner Elizabeth Shaffer. Wants to cut 3 full time employees (parkkeeper trainees) plus some capital project funding. Those cuts totaling $315,000 would fund two park police.

But I think we can ALL agree that people who like Catalina dressing are heretics who will not see the Light of Heaven.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Last winter Minneapolis rolled out our first ever sidewalk plowing pilot program. According to residents, it was a huge success!
“This program was a lifesaver for my wife and I this year. We appreciate the promptness of the employees and how great our sidewalks were cleared.”

I know the racism doesn't care and it's not the main point, but Omar has lived in the United States since she was 13, thirty years ago. She became a citizen when she was 17, twenty five years ago. She's an American by law but also just substantively, she's spent her entire adult life as an American.
