My experience of the debate over more police in 2019:

Downtown business leaders want cops. People you'd expect to be law and order types prefer lower taxes. People who actually want more city spending would prefer that it go to other priorities, not cops.

No bus lanes on Hennepin anytime soon.

But on Franklin Ave there will be speedier service brought to you by "computers on buses to communicate with stoplights to request longer green lights or shorter red lights."

OK! As of 16 minutes ago we have new governors in Minnesota, Wisconsin AND Illinois. Hoping these governors start working together ASAP to make it easier to get from one state to another! (cough: TRAINS🚂) https://twitter.com/WGNNews/status/1084873235815194624

"The dire warnings about minimum-wage increases keep proving to be wrong. So much so that in a new paper, the authors behind an earlier study predicting a negative impact have all but recanted their initial conclusions."

Seattle's $15 minimum wage was supposed to crush hiring. Look at what happened instead https://bloom.bg/2EPA2LD

🚨 Board of Estimate & Taxation meetings happen in City Council chambers. Cameras are there, ready to record, like so many other meetings that happen there. But the meetings aren't recorded and nobody gets to see this stuff. Needs to change.
