Candidate Orban's to priorities: 1) public safety, 2) economic development/ supporting business 3) making the council boring again by focusing on basic needs / city infrastructure. Man, if lived in Ward 9, I would vote for Dan. Great interview.
I'm glad he is running as an independent and not in the DFL club. After Biden's failed term, with the Dems lying about his decline, funding two horrific wars, and handing Trump to us on a silver platter...I will never vote for another Democrat as long as I live. I will vote Green, Socialist (not DSA but actual socialists) Independent, or write in my own name. Mr. Orban's decision to avoid the limits of the deeply flawed two party system (although Mpls. is a one-party city) is refreshing and commendable. Thank you!
We will have a sign in sheet at the meeting for attendees to write down comments and questions. Our plan is to take as many as we can cover in 20 minutes and then any remaining questions and comments will be submitted to the city representatives.
This meeting is the beginning of the dialogue to secure the safety ambassador program in Uptown, which has been a budget approved item for a long period of time. This is our effort to get in front of the decision makers and have this program become a priority for our city.
Hi Janet, I'm not sure of the exact items contained in that cost. The figure was pulled from a StarTribune commentary:
This delay is not free. So far, the city has spent more than $18.7 million on this project (see tinyurl.com/rd-fiscal). It currently costs the city $100,000 a month to carry the property (according to an email from Barbara O’Brien from the city of Minneapolis to Council Member Linea Palmisano). A one-year delay means the city will spend another $1.2 million on this project minimum. Funds are coming from the Water Fund.

Ditto Paul!

All community stakeholders are welcome to attend.
I am guessing there will be time allotted for Q and A. Do readers have recommended questions?

I appreciate these interviews. I have a question. Why does the proposed site for the urban garden cost taxpayers $100,000/month to maintain?
