I took this platform off my phone about 6 months ago. Haven't really missed it. I enjoyed all the folks I met here over the last 17 years, and the relationships that extended into real life. Time to move on.

We don't let public works take home snow plows for their weekend side gigs. Our firefighters have to leave the fire trucks at the station once they punch out.

So why does MPD get to use city squad cars and taxpayer funded liability insurance when they pick up off-duty work?

Most Minnesota charter schools are failing to make good on their promises
"The state’s charter school students are far less likely to meet grade-level standards for math or reading than their peers in traditional public schools."

Nearly 10 years ago, I met a Congressman from rural MN who drove around for hours to help a single Veteran get a pair of hearing aids so he could hear his dying wife’s voice. Never would have guessed then that #TimWalz would be in running for VP. https://t.co/AAIDhnLzIo

@aurinmpls @LtGovFlanagan I wrote Commissioner Abene and said exactly what @LtGovFlanagan said. To say her constituents were not advocating for the Park workers is inaccurate.

@msepic @MPRnews @TomCrann Thanks! Much appreciated!

@MPRnews @TomCrann Next time you have Rep. Emmer on to talk, you probably need a segment immediately after to fact check. Too many lies to go unchecked until @msepic at 4 am the next day. https://t.co/DKUarNUsrP

Excellent primer on our First Generation Down Payment Assistance program, which rolled out this week and will help 5,000 Minnesotans purchase a home for the first time. https://t.co/wZeRPJaeoi #mnleg

@robin4mpls Funny, I think he said he wanted reform when he first ran for mayor 6 years ago! https://t.co/Yj6tt8DE4j

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.

(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

The urgent need for more affordable housing! The county (yours truly) shared the stage with the legislature, the city, a land bank (LBTC), a developer (@BelieveInHome), to talk about housing. I learned from all the participants. Thank you for the invitation.
