Slightly off the point but I will never not be amused by Point of Sale and Piece of Shit have the same abbreviation.

Jim Meyer is an old friend and this isn’t his way. Is this a Mariam Demello joint? There’s at least one determined loose screw in that ward I know of. Spill, those of you who know what weirdness is afoot!

Kupchella obviously isn’t objective either, but you can see how he shades his facts (comparing crime rates in the least favorable time frames is just one example) and judge fairness. I think I got by in my day by never hiding my beliefs but also being straightforward in presenting the goods.

Some people might say, “Taylor opposes Frey, why should we trust her reporting?” and as an alt-weekly vet who used to beat the Strib on this stuff I respond, “look at her facts; it’s basic shoe-leather reporting. It’s easy as shit for “objective’ mainstream media to do. They just don’t do it.”

New/old — and extremely clumsy — landlord PAC just dropped. (Intentionally dropped late in the cycle.) Taylor continues to outpace local political media on the money stuff — read her 🧵

If you think these aren’t coming to Minneapolis let me introduce you to the mayor who helped usher in Uber to kill the cab industry. Your turn, Uber drivers.

Has Mayor Frey issued a response to the Kupchella doc or is he just silently nodding in assent that his political fortunes are somore how helped by trashing the city he governs?

While they’re certainly throwing the book at progressives, I don’t see any flopsweat from Team Frey that leads me to think their polling shows a problem. But that’s obviously inferential. And my predictions often fail due to my pessimism.
