One reason it's good for Chi Osse to stay in the council and be focused on city business is there is clearly a bloc of council dems who are anxious to --quietly--stifle Zohran's agenda. He'll need all the friends he can get.

Sean Duffy, the U.S. transportation secretary, has been urging people for the past week to dress and comport themselves better as a way of restoring “civility” to air travel. On Tuesday, he added another item to his list of concerns: the quality of the snacks handed out on commercial flights.

Now he’s been appointed to Zohran’s Transition Committee on Housing. We at @publicenterprise.bsky.social couldn’t be prouder!

"A 2023 review by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the Idaho Stop can reduce crash rates by up to 23 percent and, crucially, showed no evidence of increased conflicts with pedestrians or other cyclists."
