What "CM" Payne didn't realize is that donors are smarter and care more.
How did they get all that money to give to candidates? They were smarter than the rest of you.
The fact that they then even consider putting their time and effort into making this heckhole better shows they care more too.

Minneapolis doesn’t have a strong Mayor, it has strong donors. Residents thought they voted for a single point of accountability, what they got was a single point of failure. Wealthy donors have taken over national politics, let's not let them take over locally.

Minneapolis doesn’t have a strong mayor, it has strong donors
It’s a context you should consider when you hear attacks on the City Council.

What Chet Wedgely misses here is that this would apply a greater amount of scrutiny and judgement to all Employers across the city.
We need the Jobmakers and Moneymakers, who drive the tax base and Economy of The City, to be free from unelected (unemployed) DSA members breathing down their necks.

In a stunning move, Mayor Frey turns his back on workers and vetoes the Labor Standards Board.
Just 2 years ago, flanked by workers on the steps of City Hall, Mayor Frey proudly proclaimed the need for a Labor Standard Board.
Tell your Council Member to override the veto: https://buff.ly/3Z0wldx

To keep MPLS affordable we need a City Council that will:
✅ Defund core services within a large budget
✅ Revitalize Downtown & Uptown to prove Mike Norton is lying about it being OK
✅ Make it easier for big businesses to thrive
✅ Focus on safety theater, and keeping landlords happy
