John begins by scolding co-host Jason Garcia for failing to prevent audio disaster in the previous epside. Then we have an extended conversation with Robin Wonsley Worlobah, who is running for Minneapolis City Council in Ward 2. We talk about public safety, the "strong mayor" proposal, and answer the question: how long is too long for a podcast episode? What is Robin learning in her conversations with the voters of Ward 2? What big revelations has she come to while undertaking this massive project of running for office? We talk housing and Robin's approach to public housing. John asks Robin to explain the mechanism by which the city would tax the rich and large corporations, and how her proposal for significantly stepped up affordable housing mandates (six times the affordable units with twice as much affordability) would work. What committee would Robin like to serve on if elected? As a group we all answer the question: What argument this election year is getting on our nerves? We close out the show with Robin's three recommendations.
