Here's an idea! Our sister city, Austin, Texas, has a population of 685,000 and only 7 City Council Members.
Since we insist that everything in Minneapolis be "proportionate" - we only need 3, plus the Mayor. Minneapolis is clearly "over-governed," especially if you consider the 60+ mini-councils that were spawned by NRP. No wonder our budget is morbidly obese while our services are being starved to death. Vicky Heller Cedar-Riverside and North Oaks TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Send all posts in plain-text format. 2.
