Come Meet the final candidate for Minneapolis Police Chief….
YOUR INPUT INVITED – THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!!
Why wasn't our input sought before the final choice had been made?
…on Saturday, Dec. 20, at 2:00 p.m., Rm. 333 City Hall. Mayor R.T. Rybak has set up a time for members of the GLBT communities, and our allies, to meet the person he is recommending to be the next chief of police for Minneapolis.
The mayoral media machine is clearly at work here- knowing that R.T.'s choice will be a tough sell at the council they're trying to co-opt the GLBT community into supporting said mayor's choice.
Come meet the finalist before the City Council goes forward on the hiring; give your input and ask questions in person. The name will be announced to the public at a noon press conference in the Rotunda.
OK, we have the media dog and pony show scheduled at noon, and the GLBT contingent penciled in for 2 o'clock. What group will the mayor be lobbying at 1 and maybe 3 p.m.? And will the council be introduced to the possible new chief in the morning, or given the mushroom treatment?
The Mayor is especially eager to hear our voices, as well as for us to hear directly from the candidate.
After he's already made his choice...
Thank you for working this in between your holiday shopping excursions!
