"So good luck Minneapolis. Your City Council is a clown car, and your field of candidates for Mayor is like something out of a comedy."
I would like to go on record by joining my fellow Minnesotans Tina Smith and Al Franken with a full throated endorsement of Betsy Hodges for re-election. After looking over the field of candidates, I have decided that Betsy has some qualities which rise above the rest. Which qualities? In a crowed field of commies and progressives, Betsy has consistently had the most hair brained ideas. Therefore, for a city on a rapid decline, Betsy is the one to keep driving it into the ditch.
This endorsement did not come easy. There is Captain Jack Sparrow (yes, that is his name) who offered a compelling vision of what he would do to the City of Lakes. And the dark horse, Raymond Dehn almost beat out Betsy. This convicted felon wants to disarm the police in Minneapolis and turn them into London style Bobbies. Now that - is vision!
But Betsy is still my choice. For a city which is becoming ever so gentrified, with an escalating crime problem, Betsy recently laid out her vision for the fair city. Her two biggest issues - global warming and fighting Donald Trump. This woman has a future which lies way beyond the City of Lakes!
The business leaders like to cozy up to Jacob Frey as he might be one who is less loony than the rest, and might listen to common sense. Might. Even though he has raised a bundle of cash, his standing right now is in the middle of the pack instead of being a front runner.
One of the things which really drew me to Mayor Hodges is her courage. After the Diamond shooting, Mayor Hodges abruptly fired the Chief of Police for being on vacation when it happened. Of course, also right after the shooting, the Mayor hopped on a plane and flew to the west coast to attend a fund raiser. Talk about chutzpah! Collecting money from the Hollywood lefties in a time of crisis! Only a special type of person would do something this brazen!
As a conservative, I like to always point to the city of Minneapolis. Why? The City of Minneapolis is exhibit "A" on how not to succeed. Be it traffic, schools, crime, poverty, you name it - the "blueness" of the city is starting to hollow it out. This once proud and great city is nothing more than a shell of what it once was. Many people don't even want to visit there anymore. And because of people like Betsy Hodges, who continues to drink her own bath water, she, along with many other progressives, think Minneapolis is Nirvana. Huh?
So good luck Minneapolis. Your City Council is a clown car, and your field of candidates for Mayor acts like something out of a comedy. In the paper today was a story about how black families continue to flee the city's education system. News flash - it is not only black families who are fleeing, and not only because of the education system. Wake up and smell the coffee Minneapolis.
Fake Media!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDFL factional in-fighting has reached a new low in the Minneapolis mayoral campaign with the revelation of a dirty trick by Mayor Betsy Hodges’ team against her leading rival for the job.
The discovery of a fake job posting aimed at council member Jacob Frey led back to the mayor’s campaign operation.
But Mayor Hodges has declined to discuss the embarrassing incident or apparently hold anyone in her campaign publicly accountable thus far.
On Monday, Jorge Contreras, campaign manager for Mayor Betsy Hodges, admitted the posting came from his office, characterizing it as an intern’s antics gone too far.
Only problem is Jacob Frey is more of the same....
His 5-Point Vision for Minneapolis
1. Provide stable and affordable housing for all Minneapolis residents.
2. Put Minneapolis on track to be one of the greenest cities in America.
3. Create a Minneapolis where everyone is safe from both crime and police misconduct.
4. Grow local businesses that both provide stable, well-paying jobs and build wealth for the communities in which they are located.
5. Develop and implement a transportation plan that promotes public transit, and bike and pedestrian infrastructure.
So, I guess you are correct, Mpls will continue down the path of righteousness for his names sake.
Saint Paul is almost as bad, but we have a strong city council that SOMETIMES does the right thing and holds the mayor in check.
Hopefully, Mpls will elect the same.
ps Jeff Johnson should get off the Trump bandwagon as that ship is sinking. He is qualified to run on his own merits.
Ellison, D Mpls stuck his foot in his big mouth!
