Minneapolis spending $1.4M for mayor, city council counseling

(From the article) What we know:

The city council and Mayor Jacob Frey have agreed to a contract worth nearly $1.4 million that will provide executive coaching, workplace mediation and leadership development through 2028. The goal is to help city leaders work through disagreements, improve communication and focus on governing.

"I think the city will be willing to pay any amount if we're actually able to work together on this body," city council member Jamison Whiting told FOX 9.

The contract includes orientation for new officials, strategic planning sessions and quarterly two-day meetings for participants.

I wonder when Amy Klobuchar would ever hold a public event for her gubernatorial campaign or as senator

It's more of rhetorical question. I have yet to see Amy holding a public event so she can actually talk to her constituents. What a way to be accountable to the public. Unlike Ilhan Omar, she actually talks to her constituents through monthly town halls and events open to the public.

Not from her senate office or campaign emails. Not from press releases. Not from at least the major orgs within the cities. Nothing.

Edit 2: I think many of you are conflating her public apparences versus events where she answers questions from the public. Not feom other elected officials, not chamber of commerce, not the rotary club; the public.

Edit: If there's an upcoming event where she would talk to regular people in the cities, loop me in so I can attend.
