Thank you to SWAE member @micwalker for this excellent Op-Ed explaining the importance of the City's negotiations on our utilities franchise agreement with Xcel & Centerpoint. Help make sure the City holds them accountable to our clean energy goals. ⬇️

Jason Garcia — aka "Hot Dog Larry Jacobs" — says we haven't yet hit the $1200 threshold that triggers consumption of all 12 hot dogs. That's not good. Keep donating. https://t.co/TdeuxBodEt

This afternoon, I enjoyed talking to my neighbors (including Finn) about what we are doing at the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office to make our criminal legal system more equitable and our communities safer. Thank you @swaempls!

Appreciated hearing Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty speak about how her office is leveraging youth intervention to prevent crime at an event hosted by @swaempls this afternoon. We’re fortunate to have someone like Mary serving the community.

The urgent need for more affordable housing! The county (yours truly) shared the stage with the legislature, the city, a land bank (LBTC), a developer (@BelieveInHome), to talk about housing. I learned from all the participants. Thank you for the invitation.
