the upcoming election in Minneapolis

A pair of people older than me knocked on my door today to promote a candidate for Minneapolis city council. I guess it's finally time to do a quick review, so I can get my thoughts in good order for election day. My overarching priorities remain unchanged, but within Minneapolis the single biggest factor right now is probably policing.

There are 3 propositions up for vote, council members for each city ward (a near-record number of candidates), and a city mayor.
( Tables, links, and text for the curious... )

Well, there went 3 hours of my life that I'm not getting back.  But I feel well prepared to vote in a few weeks, so hopefully that effort is worthwhile.  I like recording my thoughts too, so I can look back over time and see if my ideas have changed... and how and why.

Edit: 2021 November Monday 18:30 - oops, there's more
There are 3 other positions that I failed to research earlier.  After going to more webpages, I am voting these ranked choices too.
Board of Estimate of Taxation: 1st = Sam Pree-Stinson, 2nd = Pine Salica, 3rd = write-in for myself
Park and Recreation Commissioner at Large: 1st = Alicia Smith, 2nd = Charles Rucker, 3rd = Tom Olsen
Park And Recreation Commissioner District 2: 1st = Eric Moran, 2nd = Mike Shelton, 3rd = write-in for myself
