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.

I'm flat out opposed to Ballot Question 1. It's a power grab by the elite of Minneapolis, plain and simple. It's defenders have never put up a logical reason why we need it and I'd never trust the people who made sure it's on the ballot. 1/16
I don't like being uniformed though. I looked for a good primer on how the Minneapolis city government is structured, but searches largely just return the noise that's generated today, which isn't what I want.
