Reposted by kathrynSara @saralovesyou.bsky.social · 16hI really hate what the strong mayor charter change did to accountability and transparency in our city. Most people don’t understand how much has changed, but if the mayor ignores the budget the council approves, what recourse is there now when they can’t even directly call leaders in front of them? 053

Reposted by kathrynAsh Chudgar @chudgar.com · 09/10/2026Amen. Here’s an amazing thing about Minnesotans: we don’t need to LIKE our neighbors to fight for them.
