let's not forget that the City of Minneapolis has been actively planning a new, centralized Community Safety Training and Wellness Center for emergency response professionals since at least 2021. It's not like the mayor just pulled this out of his ass last month and started asking for $38 million.
the attention seeking children on the city council are really disingenuous.
So much of what we see coming off of the Wonsley group/ the Chugleys is simply attention seeking, as they work over time to get noticed by the DSA aligned...around the country. Very unfortunate that these individuals are being paid, by us, to do this, ( which mostly turns out to be a big nothing) and a huge waste of time and money, as we watch them demonstrate no actual, tangible, interest in the work of city governance.
Note that NOT one of these "representatives" seems to be rolling up their sleeves and doing anything to MAKE SURE the 3rd Police Precinct opens at 2633 Minnehaha by this fall, six years after this loss for these 26 neighborhoods. But, of course, they would prefer to see THAT project languish, since there is zero support for the MPD or policing by them.
I think to prove the thesis it needs more examples to show how this "influencer" behavior is different than regular politics. People communicate via social media, so politicians try to advocate for their messages on those platforms? You could convince me this is something different, but I just don't see it yet.

I would rather see the DSA aligned out filling potholes and doing something useful for once.
