Hey Minneapolitans! Curious about your votes on the ballot questions.

Question 1 changes the city governance structure.

Question 2 establishes a the department of public safety.

Question 3 authorizes the city council to enact rent control.

Probably yes on #1, since the city council tends to be an inefficient goat-fuck.
Still thinking about #2. I agree 100% with the concept but I'm not too happy with how vague the statement is - a lot is left up to the goat-fucked city council.
Still thinking about #3.

Changing the structure can eliminate that transparency.

and yes on 2 and three. I voted Kate Knuth and Shelia Nezad for Mayor. I'm not pleased with how things turned out.
