[VIDEO] Actually the title to this video from FOX News is inaccurate I believe what was on the ballot in MPLS, Minnesota is actually a plan to dismantle or abolish the MPLS Police Dept. and create a city Dept. of Public Safety. They needed to rewrite the portion of that city's charter to effectively abolish the police dept.
And thankfully with all the unrest from last year and rising crime there the people in MPLS have thought better of it. I wonder how low morale is with those police officers who remain on the force.
Yeah it seemed like such a good idea after the death of George Floyd while in police custody and then not long after that the city tears itself apart. A mayor who was seen kneeling and weeping at Floyd's casket (who just so happened to have been re-elected on Tuesday) although he didn't agree with abolishing the police dept.
Anyway, I only visited MPLS once a relative was graduating college up there in the 90s. It seemed like a very nice Midwestern big city it was certainly an exotic locale. Unfortunately how long will it take for that city recover from the destruction by some of its own residents?
The article I wanted to share about Mayor Frey's re-election should scare any jurisdiction from even thinking about use rank choice voting. There was nothing wrong with first past the post, why do progressives think they can reinvent the wheel?
