On TPT Almanac to talk about Saint Paul's New Downtown Plan

 Well, I can check this one off my bucket list! I went on Almanac, Minnesota's long-running flagship local politics show, last Friday to talk about downtown Saint Paul. I normally avoid doing TV because I hate it, but I'll aways make an exception for Eric Eskola and Cathy Wurzer. 

It's very very quick, like all television, but I hope you enjoy it. I haven't watched it myself, but apparently I didn't sound like a moron. You'll notice that I didn't take the bait on the leading question about skyways. Live TV is too short to explain that shit.

On Wisconsin Public Radio's Morning Show talking about Minneapolis 2040

I had the honor of being a guest with Kate Archer Kent on WPR's Morning Show last week, talking about the Minneapolis 2040 plan with the good people of Wisconsin. It was pretty basic stuff about what the plan was, what it did and din't do, and the political and legal fallout that followed its adoption in 2019.

Here's the link (the second segment in the clip). Enjoy!
