Please listen to this, please understand that lawyers from the courthouse are all aware that MHD is unfit, it’s nice to hear when someone comes out and says what everyone from the criminal system here knows. Martha Holton Dimick is not a good lawyer.

Joe’s not wrong… Instead of a thoughtful response from a mature leader, we had a mayor (with sole authority over the Minneapolis Police Department) who hid from difficult conversations and got re-elected by fear mongering.

Now we’re in a real mess…

It’s important to remember that to some people nothing fucking matters.

If you don’t get off your ass and find 2 friends, that each find 2 friends, that each find 2 friends, to vote for Tim Walz + Peggy Flanagan by Nov 8 then you’d better be ready to live in this Minnesota.

This is pretty shocking tbh. The City clearly needs an encampment policy. Per usual, CMs stepped in to fill a leadership gap and initiated the process based on good policymaking processes (gather data). Only to be vetoed based on Strong Mayor grounds? So what's the plan instead?

I... actually agree with Mayor Frey here.

Brian O'Hara seems like the real deal and I hope the mayor gives him the autonomy to make some of the changes he's spoken to.

We need to hold him accountable as police chief, but I've been very impressed with Brian O'Hara so far.

This would be a very different approach to policing in Minneapolis.

I had the opportunity to speak with Brian O’Hara a few weeks ago and he struck me as sincere about change. To Robin’s point later in the thread, it’s up to us to hold him to these statements.

The main bridge at Lutsen Resort is just a few steel beams now…

Appears to be in reconstruction limbo after the permit was apparently revoked because the contractor was doing unauthorized work in the Poplar River (photos from last week).
