“Minneapolis has worked for some, but not everyone. Vote for Charter Question #1 to get a city where the Council works for the people and the Mayor ensures the job gets done for everyone.”
Kathleen O’Brien, former Minneapolis City Council member and Minneapolis City Coordinator

The role of a City Council member is to represent their neighbors. Voting yes for question one will better allow City Council members to represent us all and build a more equitable Minneapolis.” —Tony Scallon, former Minneapolis City Council member

“Conflict is not good for a city in times of crisis. Clear leadership is essential. Vote yes for Charter question #1." — Barbara Johnson, Minneapolis City Council member, 1998-2018

[Charter4Change @4changempls]

“As a former City Council President I support strong legislative and oversight authority in the City Council to ensure transparency and strong executive authority in the mayor to ensure accountability. Charter Amendment #1 gives us a path to both.” —Paul Ostrow

“Minneapolis Charter Amendment #1 to clarify the mayor’s role as chief executive and City Council’s role as policymakers is long overdue. Minneapolis voters should vote YES on Question 1.”
—Lee Munnich, Minneapolis City Council member, 1974-1978

“Minneapolis city staff have 14 bosses – the mayor and 13 council members. That makes day to day execution slow and sometimes impossible. Let’s get things right for the city of Minneapolis: Vote yes for city question one.” —Don Samuels

Thanks for voting YES on city question 1, @R_T_Rybak!

[R.T. Rybak (He/Him) @R_T_Rybak]

Since my former chiefs of staff and sr policy aide all publicly weighed in on charter changes, I will too: I am absolutely voting yes on Question 1, which will clarify a crazy reporting system. Mpls has lost so much talent because people struggle with having 14 bosses.

“I am a ‘Yes on 1’ voter because I believe it will improve our city and allow the City Council to focus on what it can and should do best: policymaking that reflects the needs and interests of the residents.” -Steve Cramer, former Mpls City Council member

[Charter4Change @4changempls]

“I have seen firsthand how the current system doesn’t work well. For government to work well, there needs to be clear lines of accountability. That simply doesn’t happen when there are 14 bosses.” —Jackie Cherryhomes, former Mpls City Council member, voting YES on City Question 1

[Charter4Change @4changempls]

Bob Bruininks, president and professor emeritus of the University of Minnesota: "We need reform of Minneapolis government and services. Vote YES on Question #1 to create a more responsive and accountable Minneapolis government"
