Workers Drive Minneapolis, our ordinance establishing basic protections for workers and residents as autonomous vehicle companies prepare to enter our city, is headed to a final vote and this Thursday, we’re set to make history.

Crisp air + changing leaves + grown adults walking around dressed like it’s 1542 or some fantastical version of it = Minnesota’s Renaissance Festival season. 🍂🧙🏾‍♀️🧚🏾🧝🏼‍♂️🙌🏾

Be so for real. MPD is consistently wasting their funding on unnecessary resources and taxpayers are funding their settlements for illegal actions. But the Star Tribune chooses to publish a story on saving MPD’s horses that are not making our city safer.

Flock cameras are still up around the University of Minnesota, and we’re taking action. Council Member Jason Chavez and I are bringing forward a resolution calling on the University of Minnesota and Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office to remove Flock cameras from our communities.

Data centers do not belong anywhere in Minneapolis, but it is particularly appalling to see a proposal to allow data centers in our cultural corridors, green zones, and some of our most vibrant neighborhoods.

Did you rent from any of these landlords between 2018-2025? In 2024, I led the City Council to ban rent price-fixing algorithms like RealPage that landlords use to illegally collude and drive up rents across the country. The DOJ and AG Ellison won a $360 million settlement on behalf of renters.

Keeping families in their homes is common sense. St. Paul’s temporary 60 day pre-eviction notice resulted in a 69% decrease in evictions compared to the June 2023-2025 average. Meanwhile, Minneapolis saw evictions rise 14% over the same time period after Frey vetoed our pre-eviction notice.

June saw a notable decline in eviction filings in St. Paul following implementation of the city’s temporary 60-day pre-eviction notice requirement. St. Paul recorded just 74 eviction filings in June, a 69.8% decrease compared to June 2025, while Ramsey County overall saw filings decline by 49.7%. It will take additional months of data to determine the long-term impact of the ordinance, but the initial decrease is significant.

In 2020, Mayor Frey blamed the MPD contract as an "nearly impenetrable barrier" to reining in a rogue dept. Yet during my time on City Council, two MPD contracts both failed to include any meaningful reforms while massively increasing MPD's budget.

MPD Contract Negotiations:

1-Reining in off-duty Side Gigs
2-Eliminate “Coaching”
3-Banning Field Training Officers with sustained misconduct records
4-Eliminate the 70/30 Rule
5-Permanent inclusion of Detective Rank

Instead of arresting the murderers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, the FBI was out today targeting our neighbors for standing up to ICE. This is an act of political repression meant to intimidate and terrorize us for keeping our communities safe from violent federal agents this winter.

Join us tomorrow, June 3, from 5:30–7:30 p.m. to hear from experts, workers, and advocates about the potential impacts of autonomous vehicles on workers, our local economy, and public safety—and what Minneapolis can do now to ensure the public interest comes before corporate profits.

Waymo plans to launch in Minneapolis this fall. Minneapolis can say no to big tech corporations who think they can ignore our regulations and undercut workers to pad the pockets of their billionaire owners.

Our communities deserve answers about Brian O’Hara’s unexpected resignation as Police Chief for interfering with an ongoing investigation into his alleged sexual misconduct–just 19 days after Mayor Frey nominated him for another four year term.

Last night, Brian O’Hara resigned as Chief of Police after a report concluded that he interfered with an ongoing investigation into his alleged sexual misconduct. O’Hara’s resignation is a symptom of a larger problem: Mayor Frey’s failure to effectively manage the Minneapolis Police Department.

Yesterday, Minneapolis joined cities across Minnesota and the country in passing a moratorium on data centers. This is critical so we can invest time and research to understand the full impact data centers will have on our electrical bills and water system.

Residents organized, and we responded. Council has officially voted down Mayor Frey’s “Cop City” proposal that would have put a $40 million “wellness center” with a shooting range just steps away from a public school.

*Putting a MPD gun range just 400 feet from Windom Elementary School should be a non-starter. *Buying property at twice the assessed value should raise serious questions about how the $6 million purchase price was settled on and if proper due diligence was done in negotiations with the seller.

Map shows 400 feet from the proposed Cop City with a gun range to the Windom Elementary School. This is a residential neighborhood.

Frey's wasteful spending. The proposed site for MPD’s “Cop City” in Ward 11:

2027 assessed value is $2,630,900

Frey's proposed purchase price is $6,000,000.

Purchasing land at millions above the assessed value raises serious questions about Frey’s use of taxpayer resources.

1101

Robin for Ward 2 @robin4mpls.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Let's clear up the facts: *Claiming the consent decree requires a new $40 million building is false. MPD can meet training needs with existing renovations & shared facilities. *Meditation rooms & massage therapy for MPD are wants, not needs & should be weighed against other uses for $40 million.

Myth: The consent decree requires MPD get a “Cop City”

Fact: MPD’s “Cop City” isn’t mandated by the consent decree. The MN Dept of Human Rights consent decree outlined how the City could meet MPD training needs with existing facilities and sharing spaces with partner agencies. The Frey administration has conceded their “Cop City” is not a legal requirement of the consent decree.

Myth: The proposed MPD “Cop City” addresses pressing needs.

Fact: MPD’s “Cop City” replicates existing facilities and goes beyond any realistic needs, including:

Another gun range (in addition to the 4th Precinct gun range and leased space from the UMN Police Dept)
Virtual reality simulators
Meditation rooms and massage therapy

For the third time, Mayor Frey is bringing up his Cop City proposal again on Tuesday May 19th at 1:30pm. Minneapolis residents have made it loud and clear that this is a waste of $40 million. In the aftermath of ICE's occupation, we have far more pressing priorities for our communities.

Graph compares $3 million for rent assistance post ICE occupation to $140 million for MPD buildings and questions the priorities for Mayor Frey.
