I have to get to a meeting, Rhine, but I hope these dozens of replies help you with context and that you will take advantage of my 7-days/wk office hours instead of stress-spiraling.

Those are all unique sources — imagine a city councilor actually engaging with their community and city employees.
Does that seem foreign to you and make you uncomfortable? It’s been a long time since our city officials worked that way.

Why black out Lemy Coffin’s name? Or the reply? Or the dozen others that were unanimously supportive?
The narrative only works when you cherrypick, doesn’t it. Why don’t you want Ward 3 to have representation?

That’s right — many members split b/c the endorsement process was replete with errors that the organization did not address.
This is what it looks like to hold allies accountable, not going along to get along. The best part is it led to a surge in organizing! That’s the value of authenticity.

As the Ward 3 councilor, I’m endorsing her opponent, Chris Stratton. Ward 6, we need you to vote for a change!
Councilor LaBarge says supportive things of her constituents but always votes in line with the mayor on policies that often contradict whatever she’s just said.
Chris is incorruptible.

Don’t forget the salt: the city claims to be unable to prove any affordability requirements. Great PR though.

Great question. Really sad to see public officials like our mayor and Councilor Elkins put their feelings above those of the community. A public servant should be able to do their job and set their ego aside.

Polish farming families do support Dan. Did you think they liked the fake progressivism that has been pushing them out of their community more? Hamp and Noho are aligned in understanding that the past couple decades of leadership have not served our community. Do you plan to ever engage them?

🔥🔥🔥 Love to see progressives holding each other accountable. Wish you would do the same for your mayor and six city councilors.

That’s a city council candidate showing leadership skills. And by the way, I wholeheartedly endorse him for Ward 6 city council, for anyone who is reading along.

Curious to know what you believe constitutes debate. If you’re not engaging with the ideas people are putting forward and are simply dismissing them, you’re shutting down debate. If someone says something you disagree with, they’re not shutting down debate. Can you give some examples here?

How come the $300k from the tree mitigation fund is being held back from the Urban Forestry Commission by Misch? It’s not very persuasive when you just try to debunk people without doing your homework.

What do they have in common: a city government that has failed to act for decades. We’re supposed to give the mayor a free pass because they are owned by the same person we $3M to for a building we’ll never use?

The entire community was left out. Undemocratic is what it is. And attacking a neighborhood that wants affordable housing instead of luxury housing tells us a lot about you. Slapping a “NIMBY” label on anyone who wants accountability and affordability is not a winning argument.
