A conversation with Aurin Chowdhury, who represents Ward 12 on the Minneapolis City Council. We talk about MPD's continued use of coaching as a way to hide misconduct; what she hopes to see from a new union contract; why she isn't sold on the idea of moving the city's election office into the old MPD 3rd Precinct; how budget conversations are proceeding with a $21 million budget gap looming for 2025; her hesitancy on the idea of adding more city council staff; the Uber/Lyft saga and how dad jokes are born; and the fate the Roof Depot/East Phillips Urban Farm now that the legislature has failed to pass a key piece of funding.

Note: Episode was recorded May 30, prior to the mass shooting in the Whittier neighborhood, where a gunman injured four people and killed MPD officer Jamal Mitchell.
