This is correct. To expand, what a lot of people didn't understand is that included in the proposal was a city council power grab, that would take oversight of the police away from the mayor and give it to the city council. The city council in Minneapolis is not a group I'd want to give more power to. Besides, the system already leaves very little power in the hands of the mayor. I think if they had stuck to the issue without the power grab attemp it may have passed, because the Minneapolis police do pretty much suck, and some sort of change is in order. I live in St Paul where I think our city council and mayor function way better.
I don't use Lich. If you want to do business with me, contact me via PM, IG, or on AIM. Or maybe use smoke signals. Don't like it, get off of my lawn.
