Bonus Episode! Just published: the full interview I did with my old friend, Frank. We featured clips in our last episode, and I wanted to share the full interview for folks who want to hear more. Frank talks about his experiences with homeless and mental illness, and social stigma - millcityhall.com

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Among the details in Seth A. Richardson's excellent, heartbreaking new Racket piece on the death of Palmer's Bar: owner Sarah Dwyer wrote to Mayor Jacob Frey twice to ask for more enforcement of city code to help clean up the neighborhood. Neither letter even received a reply. #DontRankFrey

Here's the triumphant unfurling of the banner.

Unbelievable, but, sadly, not surprising.

A desrved shout out. Well put David Tilsen!

Worth noting,who didn’t sign and what they might still say on the subject. Thanks David

It would be to see Startribune and other mainstream media cover this. Clearly there is coordination and cooperation going on. Independent my eye.

Could we do this in the USA as well?

Democratic theory and experiment have come a long way in the last 250 years. Single-member districts are terminally flawed and undermine the fundamental democratic notion of "one person, one vote" (states and municipalities can implement w/o constitutional amendments, even congressional districts!)

Multi member districts absolutely weakens the power of gerrymandering and strengthens democtatic representation....as proven in other countries throughout the world.

This is very much an MO for many politicians after the scary risky idea becomes popular,at least for those who don't have a compass or a rudder.

New Mill City Hall episode is up! Pragmatic or just plain conservative? We discuss political labels and what they hide and reveal... subscribe on Apple, Spotify, Amazon etc., or use plain old RSS from the website: millcityhall.com

Seems like a good idea to me. We put on those big sidewalks for many reasons. This is one of them.

I feel like resurrecting $347,932 in taxpayer payments to a favored Frey homophobe who called a gay council member a “girl,” threatened violence in the city council chamber, and whose contractors shot up the north side should earn the sort of media coverage reserved for what cars candidates drive …

I am trying to find out which wards in Mpls are getting the " "Hello, it’s Research-Polls! We are conducting a study on...." text poll. If you can comment or DM me if you got it and the ward you live in, I would appreciate it. THANKS!

The Thrive IEPC likely also got all the left over money from the We Live Mpls IEPC.

Thanks for sharing hongpong

The UK is not alone in this.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

The press conference was all a show. People are rightfully frustrated about the lack of light fixes. So the goal is always to blame the council without acknowledging that the mayor’s own budget proposal did not meet this moment. In addition to the council still needing to fund this via a vote.

The council committee heard the appeal and denied it. So, the demolition permit is nearly, and very likely, approved.

Applications are open now for eight boards and commissions, including the Community Commission on Police Oversight (CCPO). Applications close March 30 (except the CCPO, where applications close March 16). lims.minneapolismn.gov/Boards/Curre...

Could be said for Mpls. How about capping it at 10%? 20%? 50? Doubling?

I wonder if it’s time to consider public campaign financing in Mpls now that millions can be spent for candidates by so-called "independent expenditure committees." Many other cities are doing it. southsidepride.com/2025/01/07/b...
