My position on the flag conversation is that I think we should always be flying the current adopted flag. The reason I feel that way is that it respects democracy. I feel going back to the old flag would be very disrespectful and it would be undermining the democratic process that yielded the current flag. The new flag wasn’t my favorite of the options however it has since grown on me especially post metro surge.
I saw the flag become the symbol of perseverance and unity and it really stuck with me and made me proud of our new flag. The pain and suffering we endured from metro surge was felt all across the state and right here at home in Mounds View. The flag was a central symbol of light in the darkness that was metro surge.
We will likely do a proclamation and a flag dedication in the near future to cement our commitment to flying this flag and I would also like to see us adopt an ordinance stating we will fly whatever the current adopted flag is further reinforcing our commitment to democracy and the state and the place we call home.
In regard to the old 1983 flag there had been attempts to change it for years. I don’t have any real attachment to it other than it’s all I have known. After 43 years It was time for a change. The old flag also had some racial undertones to it that does not reflect my values or our values as a city. I will admit I never saw the flag that way but have since learned about its history and nowhere in my conscience do I want us to be one of the cities who go back to that.
Mounds View is a city where EVERYONE is WELCOME. We have done tremendous work to address our own racist past, and we will continue to work on it. We will continue to be a beacon of what is possible when good government works to serve its people and I think we are doing just that and the old flag does not fit in that equation.

@chadrbeatty @mnhshockeytalk There are players currently playing in the NHL playoffs that played Minnesota high school hockey their entire high school career.

@mnhshockeytalk Why would you want to restrict a player from playing against the best competition?

Nooooo! I wanted to watch him this year! He's like the Quinn Hughes of MN HS Hockey. We should charge these WHL teams a hefty fee for stealing products off our shelves. And then tariff on top. And then ban their passports lol

It’s a busy week for @IlhanMN ahead of this weekend’s DFL convention!
From Golden Valley to Minneapolis, getting to talk directly with people in the district is always a joy!

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, for the first time, laid out her plan on Sunday morning to root out fraud in state government and hold accountable the people accused of stealing millions in taxpayer dollars. kstp.com/kstp-news/top-…

@shkrimps581 @BrendaL1776 @LisaDemuthMN 57 countries have a 5 point star on their flag.
I’ll stick with the old flag and hopefully the old Minnesota comes with it.

@GrageDustin Don’t you have somewhere to go get booed?
Nobody likes you Dustin, not even your fellow Republicans.

@GovTimWalz The story of you looking like a fool for years to come.

@AngieCraigMN Why do you get crushed every time you post something?

There’s nothing to celebrate about stripping away decades worth of hard-fought progress for voting rights in this country.

HUGE decision!

@MurphyJacks1 @AlexMicheletti You’re right about it being his helmet, not his stick. My mistake.
Agreed. Refs basically decided that for Benn to react the way he did, Hartman must’ve done something. They guessed at an Unsportsmanlike penalty.
English


@LEGGO_MY_EGGO @AlexMicheletti You just proved my point.
They missed the call, why did he get a unsportsmanlike?
His helmet hit Benn’s face by the way, not his stick.
English

@MurphyJacks1 @AlexMicheletti Hartman accidentally high sticks Benn which drew blood above his eyebrow. Benn grabs his face, realizes no penalty had been called, and goes looking for payback. It was a dumb play on his part, especially as Captain. Wild were lucky the refs missed a 4-minute high stick.
English

@Bossman_10K I have not seen refs discuss after a called penalty go back and call a penalty that they missed earlier in the play. Is this normal? How was it a unsportsmanlike penalty?

AMAZING moment from tonight’s speech:
@GovTimWalz: “It is my last state of the state address”
*Republicans start clapping*
“...but the things we implemented will be here for decades.”

@DonRamon767908 @Bitcoin_Teddy If you can’t realize AOC is a moron…..you’re delusional.

@Bitcoin_Teddy Screwed up Dupont with Deloitte. So what? I never hear you guys note that Trump falls asleep at meetings, tries to talk about airlines from the 80s like they're still around, flip flops on where the Iran war is going all the time, and recently said Greece is a person. Priorities.

@247sports77 @WendyHedbe76172 @StarTribune I live in MN just outside the cities.
How do you get past the crazies in the city? I would love to know how I could change their thinking.
FYI- I absolutely hate Walz, Flanagan, Frey and especially the snake Illhan Omar.

@SamHuseby It is a symbol of how ridiculous the left has become in our state. It is a symbol that Minnesotans what to go back to normalcy and will not accept what the leaders in this state have done.
