Martinez touting his endorsement from the Minneapolis police union. First city candidate in years to accept it. "Most candidates run from that."
Speaking of MPD: "If you're toxic, I'm toxic." (I'm not sure how to interpret that, maybe an *all in this together* kind of way?)

In a July 1 Star Tribune story, Alexander didn't recognize the name of the person who manages BCR, Candace Hanson. She'd been having trouble getting him to schedule a meeting to see if their soon-to-expire contract would be renewed.

This is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen. Dude is a dead duck at first, runs backwards to homeplate then looks for the “And 1” from the umpire.

Closing the Stone Arch Bridge at night is a good start, but if we really want Minneapolis to be safer the Constable should be locking everyone in their homes from 10pm-6am.

The city should have just hired David Copperfield to make the Stone Arch Bridge disappear. – at Chanhassen, MN

Fact: Minneapolis opened the first bridge across the Mississippi River, anywhere along its length.
So to honor our nation's birthday, Minneapolis is closing a bridge over the river at 10pm for the better part of a week.
