It was great to hear the breakdowns of all the various park board races on this episode of Mill City Hall. I definitely enjoyed listening. My only quibble- I’m nonbinary and use they/them pronouns.

I almost didn’t go but I’m glad I did. I learned a lot about the candidates—like where they stand on park police selectively targeting ppl for open containers or vaping cannabis).

also when ward 2 credentials committee voted to throw out the votes of more than 80 delegates for indicating support for robin wonsley, even though john wall is a member of that committee and lives outside the city of minneapolis yet had influence on throwing out actual residents' votes. misconduct!

I feel like I’m becoming the joker listening to this “all votes needs to be counted” when this whole thing is throwing out the votes of soooooo many delegates.
