Jacob has Been a Complete Failure to Mpls! He Lied, made promises and have Kept Zero of them All while pushing to Increase Our Taxes to pay the corrupt MPD More $$ while doing Nothing to help Our rent and Homeless Crisis! F Gentrifrey!

He did a great job yesterday but overall performance not great- he is my mayor. One example is he flipped flipped 3 times in a two month period before the election on police funding-fund police with increased community supports, defund the police, then kinda defund the police and do “something”

I can’t tell if you’re being genuine or sarcastic, but no. I lived pretty close to where GF was murdered at the time, and his pathetic handling of that situation is what turned me (and MANY others) off Frey for good. He’s a useful tool for the wealthy “progressives” and nothing else.
