A f[inks]ing Green Party member got elected to Minneapolis Parks and Rec Board

[America Needs R'hllor]

The Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board is more powerful than you'd expect. They control their own police force, separate from the Minneapolis PD and control about 15% of the land in the city and thus gets seats on the Planning Committee which sets zoning laws, so do get a say in things like establishing affordable housing. They also have significant control over how utilities like plumbing and the sewers are managed because of how that impacts parks as well as the golf courses they control. Also they can ask for additional tax revenue and property tax levies and even though such requests need to be approved by the Board of Estimate and Taxation it does not have to go through the City Council.

That level of power is still far too much to be even partially invested in a party as downright loony and out of touch with reality as the Green Party is.

NOT THE SEWERS

Oh, that explains why BRTD is so worried.  He doesn't want a minion of Putin being able to mess with his home!

People still fall for this act?

Another issue is that her Queen believes Wi-Fi causes brain damage. What if she tries to ban public Wi-Fi in Minneapolis parks?

This is not an actual thing.

[Statilius the Epicurean]

The nationalisation of (especially US) politics in the age of the internet is so dumb

If your council member is competent who cares about what their national party has said about something as irrelevant to local government as foreign policy or the FBI's Russia investigation of the President?

The forum's quality would improve?

Step 1. Open Russian Art Museum in Minneapolis
Step 2. Get a Green party member elected to the local parks board.
Step 3. Minneapolis is next Russian Crimea.

Why would a park need wi-fi?

I quite enjoyed my posts in this thread.

Don't we want our parks to be green?

Boil her in oil!!!!!

That doesn't sound very "Green"

If it's organic non-GMO artisianally-pressed fair-trade olive oil it is.

Oddly enough, Minneapolis has a Green councilor to the Second Ward

Looks like for taking care of the livability of the city, in the opinions of Minneapolis voters having greenery in political offices is a good thing.

Oh god I remember this now. Was absolutely priceless.

She should visit the Russian art museum for peak BRTD outrage.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

WE ARE NOW FREE OF HER!

The second ward member got replaced by a Socialist Alternative member. Be careful what you wish for!
