Worst-Governed City In America?
I wrote here that Minneapolis may have taken over, from Portland, the title of America’s worst-governed city. Scott furnished more evidence for that proposition this morning, pointing out that Minneapolis’s parks have been turned into homeless encampments.
A friend adds to Scott’s dire depiction of the panic in Powderhorn Park with this letter, which he sent to the Minneapolis Park Board. Once again, the villain of the story is Minnesota’s far-left Governor Tim Walz:
Superintendent Bangoura, Commissioner Cowgill and Members of the Minneapolis Park Board:
In preparation for your Board Meeting July 15th to discuss a new resolution related the Encampments impacting approximately 38 parks under the jurisdiction of the Minneapolis Park Board, I am writing to urge you in the strongest possible terms to put aside partisanship, politics and ideology and focus on the Park Mission, which is to “preserve, protect, maintain, improve, and enhance its natural resources, parkland, and recreational opportunities†for people to “gather, celebrate, contemplate, and engage in activities that promote health, well-being, community and the environmentâ€. This requires by administrative law and good conscience the Park Board to institute a zero tolerance policy for overnight Encampments on active Park properties and formally reject [Walz’s Executive Order] 20-55.
