Dayton is the exact opposite of meek. He always says what's on his mind (sometimes to his own detriment). We can't count on a serial drunk driver running for the gop nor can we run against Pawlenty's fiscal record. Trump is setting up to be a disaster but we can't bank on that. Running a weak urban ...

Jesus no. A milquetoast Minneapolis dfler would lose badly.

I like an old governor with no higher aspirations. Dayton and Jerry Brown in California have been pretty kick ass. Rice's involvement is discouraging

He'd be better than every other announced candidate.

State law prohibits public employees receiving frequent flyer miles.

Bold prediction: nothing big will get done until May.

I was responding to fishmanpet not you. The "report" you referenced is a determination by an administrative law hearing officer not city staff. It's pretty clear all determinations of fact are based the applicant's statements in license applications and hearing testimony. The application i...

It's not that complicated. The couple have lived together since 1997, Mrs Pham has lived with him the entire time she's lived in U.S., they have four children together and she changed her name to match his. By any reasonable definition their relationship is of husband and wife even if they are not l...

How many built residential projects have been granted a variance to exceed the downtown parking maximum? The Shamrock Portland project is the only one that comes to mind. Plenty of projects have been built without increasing the number of parking spaces downtown. Latitude 45, 100 Hennepin and Soo Li...

I've found persistence pays off with 311 reports. Citing city ordinance helps.

NLP is a charter school advocate. That's enough to keep her off my top three. Hodges, Dehn, Sparrow right now

Elimination of beg buttons (hot), form based code (supes hot) and cost savings sharing program for city employees. The last issue micro targets the weirdo progressive libertarian constituency.

He certainly knows how to hit a hyper woke urbanist male's erogenous zones.

Edit: he's a poor man's Jacob Frey.

Driver less ride sharing cars - the marriage of two extra legal tech industry money pits.

Excellent 29th street Nicollet analogy.

Wow, that's a lot of grade separation west of Shady Oak/OMF for not a lot of stations and transit-compatible land uses. If only we spent that much money doing grade separated transit where there are actual transit riders. I've jumped into this 3C argument against my better judgement but at least I'...

The station platforms were to be below grade with open roofs at the ends of the Nicollet tunnel south of 28th and north of Franklin. That's at two blocks of open cuts, assuming cost escalation wouldn't have resulted in leaving other sections open. If open cuts weren't lousy enough the center of eat ...
