For as much as the Lynx were absolutely cheated 2 years ago VS the liberty, it’s the liberty who have demonstrated championship DNA and the Lynx who have cowered all series. Liberty have been more physical, hustled more, and have had way better game-plans to stifle the Lynx on both ends.

Vote yes! Passing the MN constitutional amendment on this year’s ballot will increase funding to all public schools including about $1,000,000 per year to Minneapolis Public Schools. Don’t skip it - leaving this question blank is the same as voting no. (PS - Edison scored!)

Tonight at our Board of Estimate & Taxation meeting we deadlocked on deciding the maximum levy for the City and the Parks. I voted in full support of the park board’s levy request and the city’s request throughout every single amendment brought forward, but we could not find consensus on that.

A BET cut to the city levy makes it harder for Council to restore the Mayor's cuts to climate action, violence prevention, housing inspections, health, and BIPOC & immigrant programs. He made those cuts rather than stop MPD overspending. Parks need BET support and so does City Council.

It needs to be understood that no matter what narratives media is creating, Commissioner Barnette was not good at his job. Any time he presented to City Council he wasn’t able to answer basic questions and appeared very disengaged from his role and the public safety work happening in the city.

Public Memorandum
April 15th
City Council's Vision for Community Safety and Toddrick Barnette's Failure to Meet that Vision
Council vision: A balanced budget.
Commissioner Barnette's record: Unchecked overspending with no communication or opportunities for corrective action.
• Under Commissioner Barnette's supervision, MPD overspent their budget by nearly $20 million dollars. Commissioner Barnette concedes this oversight was due to the lack of engaged conversations with MPD leadership, and that he was not aware of the overspend until the third financial quarter of 2025. It is unacceptable for the City's senior leadership to make the kind of mistakes that come at a direct expense for taxpayers while undercutting the delivery of services.
• During the hearing for his reappointment on April 7, 2026, Commissioner Barnette was unable to provide a specific plan or any corrective measures to prevent this kind of overspending by departments under his supervision from happening again.
• During the 2025 budget mark-up session, Commissioner Barnette and his office requested $24 million for the proposed Community Training and Wellness Center, also known as "Cop City." Only after Council Members pushed back on this request did Commissioner Barnette admit that the potential full cost of the proposed project for taxpayers could be nearly $40 million.
• Additionally, despite stating the Training Center project could be a potential revenue generator, Commissioner Barnette later conceded there were no current leads to generate revenue to offset project costs.
Council vision: All residents receive high-quality safety services and deserve accountability when the City misses the mark.

Commissioner Barnette's record: The case of Davis Moturi.
• Davis Moturi is a Black resident of Minneapolis who was facing specific threats of racist violence from his next-door neighbor. Mr. Moturi requested help and protection from MPD but did not receive it and was shot in the neck by his neighbor. There are still many unanswered questions about why MPD failed to protect Mr. Moturi and whether Commissioner Barnette has taken any corrective actions.
• In addition to Commissioner Barnette not taking ownership for this failure or explaining how it was allowed to occur, he has delayed progress on accountability. Despite claims that MPD conducted an internal review of the case and made operational changes, he has refused to publish for more than a year the results of any such review or operational changes made as a result of internal review.
Council vision: Safety for victims and survivors of domestic violence.
Commissioner Barnette's record: The cases of Allison Lussier and Mariah Samuels.
• Allision Lussier was a 47-year-old Indigenous woman and domestic violence survivor who was found dead in her North Loop apartment in February 2024. Since her death, family members, community members, and domestic violence advocates have been demanding officials investigate the circumstances of her death and the role that was subsequently played by MPD.
• Mariah Samuels was a Black resident and a domestic violence survivor who was killed in
2025. She called and engaged with MPD to receive help all the way up until the morning she was killed.
• This egregious killing came after the City Council requested more information on the City's response to domestic violence survivors due to unresolved concerns regarding gaps of services by MPD.
Council vision: Strong, successful relationships with credible contractors and partners.
Commissioner Barnette's record: Lawsuits, dubious contracts, and poor oversight.
• Commissioner Barnette failed to cancel the contracts with Salem, Inc. for viole…

Hennepin County Attorney's Office charged two individuals connected to the organization led by McAfee with felonies related to their violence prevention work that Commissioner Barnette requested the item be pulled from consideration.
• Not only did Commissioner Barnette fail to cancel the contracts, under his leadership the Neighborhood Safety Department later brought forward two contracts for Salem, Inc. for $650,000, which was promptly voted down by the Minneapolis City Council.
• Commissioner Barnette failed to take preventative or corrective actions during the tenure of Neighborhood Safety Director Luana Nelson Brown, which included poor financial management, improper procurement protocol, and potential conflicts of interest.
• During Commissioner Barnette's tenure, council members received several complaints from contractors for lack of communication, delay in contract execution, and clarity on the broader strategy for violence prevention, for which they were selected to play a role.
• Last year, Commissioner Barnette oversaw the selection of OUR Rescue, formerly known as Operation Underground Railroad, as the City-contracted vendor to provide sex trafficking prevention services to MPD at the South Minneapolis Community Safety Center. The founder of this organization was federally investigated on sexual exploitation, sexual assault, and fraud allegations. Upon learning about this prospective partnership via a Star Tribune article, several council members and community advocates urged Commissioner Barnette to cease all collaboration with OUR Rescue and to utilize proper procurement processes to select a credible contractor. After much public outcry and persistent pressing from council members, proper procurement channels were used by OCS to select a credible sex-trafficking prevention vendor.
Council vision: Leadership who is active and involved, has a clear vision of a comprehensive public safety system, is knowledgeable about all the departments they oversee, …
