Mork: "It is the MIS-spending of it to make law enforcement feel "safe" when the JOB is to make the TAXPAYER feel safe. When cops attack taxpayers, the purpose of the largest expenditure is not being achieved. The city is LESS safe, and the money is wasted."
Heller: 8% of the Mpls budget is for Police and 4% is for Fire protection. That totals a whopping 12% spent for public safety -- a shameful pittance. The largest expenditure in Minneapolis is actually corporate welfare, real estate developer subsidies, and related debt service. I don't understand why Listpeople continue fiddling with minutia while the City is crumbling under the weight of its debt. Ten years worth of "economic development" has been a monstrous failure - and now the credit card slips are coming in by the truckload.
