Minneapolis resident into local political affairs, and now a council candidate in Ward 11. Not much to see here, yet. Maybe. Former local-music reviewer, magazine editor. Current nightshift LPN.
Drove by recently. Was pretty sure that was the one, formerly with the artwork, yard signage in season. Can confirm.

Jamison mentioned Washburn was accepting, but he said that about 10 days ago. Can't confirm if still.

`The other 9': 3 hardcore returnees would welcome. I think Payne and Osman, too. 3 vacated. Don't Say Aurin.

Sincerely, not sarcastically, I thought LG learned that so much is with the mayor now. I believe she did enjoy addressing issues, became a little frustrated with the change. You'd know more, but if true, E.S. has a built-in out. Lovely stuff.

Of course, Minneapolis politics is my Roman Empire, so I was happy to give Cam my thoughts on "Strong Mayor"... full quote I provided below:

Good work. (I believe a tape becomes public after, but I presume he was wanting real-time in voting hours.) Thanks for upgrading and traveling.

Where can one find this? I admit, just morbidly curious about my 2nds in W11. Thanks.

I learned first-hand last day of filing is crazy close to first day of EV. Low W11 was a relief to me, not that it really mattered to rout, but even knowing it was near 10% it was hard not to feel it was even more over than it was already. Lesson learned. Be early for many good reasons.

I'll be under $4, but Corey Ryan Vest is gonna be very hard to beat. And for all I know, he petitioned to file.

Devils's adv. Worst old shit pinned to Rondo/Kroll era. Vibe is out there MPD on upswing. Easy for gen pop to shift MPD barfs to `ACAB supermajority.' `Complete control'...as if he goes to 5 roll calls each am. O'Hara popular w/ many. Peace out, DB. Not trying to break our temp ceasefire. ;]

Didn't this Ward re-line more in her favor, making Yusra comp outdated (and a challenge for Madore)?

Isn't that a Daft Punk smash hit. `Wake up all night to go pee pee.'

Merely FYI, not because I care too much personally, but I just learned that J-Mo is ON the print version mailed. Someone I know received. Why not this e-list?
