ICYMI, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey announced this afternoon the nomination of the city's first Commissioner of Community Safety, Cedric Alexander @Calex_law.

Salary range: $295,000 to $350,000

Position oversees: Police, 911, Fire, Emergency Mgmt, Public Information ++.

2/

Recall, citizens voted against this move last fall. The council and mayor disregarded the people's voice and have now created another massive layer of bureaucracy in the city of Minneapolis.

3/
Of note in his comments at the press conference, Cedric Alexander not so subtly directed comments urging media to "help me."

Um, while you can count on mainstream #MNmedia to toe your line, media's job, theoretically, is to hold you accountable.

Total of four people were in the vehicle, one of them fled.

It started as a fleeing vehicle, and the crash may have occurred separately from the fleeing vehicle.
Police aired that there was a crash, but it's unclear if the fleeing vehicle caused or was involved in the crash.

Scoop - We're told that Mayor Jacob Frey plans to nominate current Commissioner of the MN Dept of Public Safety John Harrington to the new Public Safety Commissioner of Minneapolis.

.
Remember, Minneapolis voted last fall against creating a Dept of Public Safety, but Mayor Frey and the Council disregarded that.

Now they'll hire a commissioner at up to $350,000 (twice what Harrington makes in his state role).

.
And Minneapolis didn't even require a master's degree for the position.
