Election day is coming up and I’m planning to vote #YesOn2, but I’m also a politics nerd and a history nerd, so I wanted to know more about what Minneapolis voters were thinking in 1961 when they added the police charter provisions that are now up for a vote to change. 1/
I was particularly curious about opposition at the time. Inspired by @anton612’s brief history published @WedgeLive (wedgelive.com/a-brief-histor…) & armed w/ a @_newspapers 7 day free trial, I went spelunking through early-1960s @StarTribune pages & learned some interesting things 2/

This ad with my name on is going out in today's metro-Detroit Jewish News. We include Dems, libertarians, even an aide to a GOP rep. I wanted to explain why we purchased it, why most of us who grew up with @LenaEpstein are strongly urging voters to choose anyone else.
