With two weeks to gather his thoughts and recover from a November 2 gut punch, John is joined by Jason Garcia for a wide ranging conversation about the state of Minneapolis politics heading into 2022. John feels bad. Jason feels less bad. It's unclear if this makes things better or worse: we're less than a year from people ramping up city council campaigns for the 2023 election. 2022 gives us a chance to elect the Hennepin County Attorney, County Sheriff, and County Commissioners. We talk about the city council's rightward shift, our new strong mayor system, the unprecedented infusion of big business money into the 2021 election, the state of alternative media, our hopes for the future of the Charter Commission, and so much more. We also take a look back at the David Wheeler episode.
