Encouraging info from CM Chavez. My issue here is that the entire history of Big Tech is doing illegal things and daring people to stop them, which rarely happens. We need to say a robot can't drive AND provide a framework for strong penalties when the companies inevitably ignore that law.
My understanding is that state law requires a human driver.

According to MPR, Waymo hired lobbyists to explore the possibility of changing state laws to allow for the operation of autonomous vehicles.

I’d be supportive of an ordinance that requires a human to be physically present.

Someone on the Minneapolis subreddit caught Waymos being delivered. We need the City Council need to ban the use of driverless cars. The technology isn't there. Our city cannot be a testing ground for 1.5 ton autonomous projectiles.

Critics say a proposed ban on cryptocurrency kiosks in St Paul will harm small businesses who specialize in scamming your grandma and will just push grandmas to nearby towns to get scammed.

St. Paul City Council set to make final vote on cryptocurrency kiosk ban next week
The City Council is expected to take a final vote on an ordinance that would prevent the “use and placement” of the kiosks on Wednesday.

Agree with everything Ryan wrote in this thread. During GOTV, Fateh knocked 80k doors and our IE table knocked 20k doors. Top notch field and political staff, unprecedented partnerships with Council and Park campaigns and a motivated volunteer base driven by DSA pushed Frey and his $$ to the brink.
We’ll never get a re-do on that election, but I do think it was within our grasp. Unless I'm forgetting someone, Omar put together the largest coalition, raised the most money, had the strongest campaign of any city-level progressive candidate I've seen in my 18 years here. It wasn't handed to him.

@dbrauer.net wants to make it sound like there's a civil war brewing in kingfield but it is really in Bryn Mawr.
This was such a community effort, and it makes me really happy to know I was supported by so many people. Here is a “heat map” of where my first place votes came from. I’ll let the people like @wedge.live and @taylordahlin.com and @dansuitor.bsky.social do analysis.

My gut reaction, looking at this map, is the people who encounter the homelessness epidemic everyday voted to remove Jacob from office.

Those who don’t encounter this problem day to day had other concerns not addressed by the other campaigns.

This "documentary" looks like it's trying to be the mainstream "Fall of Minneapolis." Weird part is that it features interviews with Jacob Frey's biggest boosters dragging down a city their guy has been mayor of for 8 years.
a precarious state was also promoted by liz collin, another right winger along with tom barnard

jim rubin, a big part of this documentary, was also a big part of we love mpls

the conservative democrat / republican alliance for this mayoral election is ugly and DANGEROUS

The ordinance would require the city's worst landlords, in that tier 3 category, to go before the city council to renew their license. If the license is not renewed, a plan will be developed to get the property up to city standards.

There are 160 tier 3 rental licenses in Minneapolis covering 2260 units. It takes a lot of effort at being a slumlord to get a tier 3. You have to rack up a lot of violation points. Problem is the current process to renew involves simply paying extra for the license.

Great Moments in Vetaw

Minneapolis Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw argues against ordinance targeting slumlords. Says hypothetical slumlord with high powered lobbyist could get city to look the other way, while lesser slumlords are held accountable.

It's "not fair" + "picking winners and losers"
