I was always relieved that, if he did not become our next Mayor, Peter would still be County Commissioner.
My hope is that Mayor Rybak will now have a staff be a consistent and engaged presence on the Hopper Work Group that Peter formed . I also expect that the Mayor will commit in concrete ways to ending homelessness in Mpls. and partner with St. Paul and the State of Mn in their work to end homelessness. Our Decrim Task Force recs included recs on Police Protocols. I also would expect the Mayor -- who has yet to meet with that Decrim Task Force--- to sit down with our members whom he never met with before and go over all of our recs. And the reason I voted for Elizabeth Glidden (one at least) is that she expressed to me a commitment to ending homelessness in Mpls and I would expect her to make good on this.
