Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12 @aurinmpls.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Some of my colleagues on the council are saying that the Minneapolis Police Department should be allowed to overspend their budget so 9 people can travel to accept an award. We are trying to convince them they should only spend within their gifted amount of $16,000 so no taxpayer dollars are used. 7647

Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12 @aurinmpls.bsky.social · 20/08/2026This is where the overlay district for data centers could potentially be. I strongly oppose this.
