I am so tired of this strategy of "if we repeat the same lie enough times, people will think it's true." It's bad for our democracy, bad for our city.
And if a candidate had a real record of reform to run on, they wouldn't have to repeat tired lies over and over.

As I've said in other threads, the policy that Frey instituted still lets the cops break your door down before they knock on it. They have to announce themselves as cops before crossing the threshold into your home - but *after* breaking down your door.
Still mad about the lies @Jacob_Frey & @4changempls are pushing about the city structure and how it bears no resemblance to the state/federal structures.
I put together a cheat sheet on the one difference between the three. Can you figure out what it is? #NoYesYes #DontRankFrey

Defenders of question 1 might say that the council will still have oversight, but the devil is in the details.
The charter change states that the council will only be able to publicly request information from the departments. Communications will need to flow through the mayor.

The council also will not be allowed to advocate for the removal of a department head unless the mayor says so.
What good is toothless oversight?
Do we know how this would work in practice?
We do! It’s how the police department works today! Completely shielded by the mayor!
