I'm going to belabor this point. The charter commission probably received more public comment about this charter amendment than any other. More public interest than ever before. - they are claiming inadequate community engagement? are you kidding?

This thread of Minneapolis Charter Commission clips from Wednesday's meeting is the sad highlight reel everyone needs to watch. So much fear-based decision making. Contact your council member & Mayor Frey today to tell them #letusvote to #changethecharter!

Thanks for sharing University of Arizona Libraries tutorials through Creative Commons, Yvonne Mery! If other libraries want to use them, do we need our own software licenses to do so? Articulate Rise, Sidecar, etc.? #loex2021
