@DJWolter There is a new surcharge on PHEV. It’s .25% MSRP while BEV’s are .5% MSRP.

Does Minnesota’s massive EV tax… more than doubled this year… apply to plug-in hybrids?

@FrederickMelo 1) She outworked Carter 2) The feeling of discontent was there w/ voters, she gave voters a real choice, 3) Her focus on improving city operations 4) Collaborative problem solver, 5) Most people don’t objectively believe things are going well in StP

What just happened?! No, seriously, what just happened. Her announced in August and won in November, 48%-45% once ballots were reallocated. Even some supporters did not expect her to win. If you had less than 24 hours to come up with some sort of analysis of what voters responded to, what would you say? Asking for a Fred...

@FrederickMelo Speaking from experience, gaslit is an appropriate term.

“Don’t let yourself be gaslit. Our city is not moving forward.” Nope, that’s not Alpha News or the “A Precarious State” documentary. It’s progressive St. Paul mayoral candidate Kaohly Her, a state rep who says if you do a basic Google search you’ll find other cities of the same size hard-hit by the pandemic are doing better. Is that true? She’s going hard. Will the message resonate? Or is it too negative? Or on the nose? Or is it true and you can’t handle the truth? Or is it not true and only you know the real truth? Maybe truth is entirely subjective. Define “moving forward.” Define “gaslit.” facebook.com/share/r/1BK52P…

@FrederickMelo Can we finally agree that the concerns of downtown St. Paul are not a “perception problem”?

If you could ask the candidates for St. Paul mayor 5 questions, what would they be? They can be questions for the group, like "Why are you running?" or more targeted, like "Why did you, Mr. Candidate No. 3, accept a campaign donation from Mr. Sketchy Guy?" Please hurry, I've got deadlines and I don't like doing my own work

This is really well done. A legend that will be missed at #mnleg! startribune.com/tax-chair-envi…

@epmurphymn How very fitting. 💙My dog isn’t a trained therapy dog, but she certainly has been a source of comfort in this very sad time. As the Capitol community mourns, heals, and processes, these small moments of peace are so needed.

Today, a wise soul brought therapy dogs to the MN Senate. This is Bala, great uncle to Gilbert. 💙 They are called therapy dogs for good reason. 🐾

The Suburban Solutions Caucus is working on common-sense solutions to fix legislation from 2023 that will essentially halt the manufacturing and sale of keys in MN. Read more below:

@JP_SPAC @SPAC_PAC @SPACC @BrendaKyle @RedRabbitMN Best birthday ever! Love my @SPACC besties!

@SPAC_PAC @amandaduerr @SPACC @BrendaKyle Quite the celebration!! Thx @RedRabbitMN for the hospitality

Happy birthday to our favorite Swiftie and fearless leader @amandaduerr. Make sure to wish her all the best if you see hear around the Metro this weekend. @SPACC @BrendaKyle @JP_SPAC

@SPAC_PAC @SPACC @BrendaKyle @JP_SPAC I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 42!

@lukehellier I haven’t even heard it but just reading your tweet I know it’s the song I needed!

The Jelly Roll / T-Pain remake of Shoulda Been a Cowboy is the track for 2024 weeks didn’t know we needed. youtu.be/arB4fFVMYko?si…

Yes, it’s early but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this will be the best video you’ll see all day 😀

UPDATED: Joe Atkins, Dakota County board chair, says 1,500 disabled workers rely on the county’s Lyft partnership. Getting a start-up licensed and trained to fill that void could take months. There are about 10,000 Uber/Lyft drivers in MN, with 95% of trips within the metro.

Otis!!! We know him @SPACC !

This is an incredibly sad loss for the running community. So talented but yet humble. Many expected him to be the one to break the two hour barrier.

We can organize around the good things we all want – to live and work in a capital city that is the best place for opportunity. Read @BrendaKyle's opinion piece in the @PioneerPress about public safety perceptions in our city through our annual survey. bit.ly/3tZ4yij

@FrederickMelo Happy Birthday, @FrederickMelo! You had a full day (per usual)!

LIFE ADVICE: Have kids late so when you turn 47 you’re just getting started. Find the best Ethiopian restaurant around and order a Bedele beer. If you, like I, lack a middle name, call yerself “Tibs” after the meal. Head to Bole +turn 47 in style! Happy bday to me, mama cluckers!

2023 Holiday Chamber Connect was one to remember. The @SPAC_PAC @SPACC GA team plus Staci had a blast. @BrendaKyle is our favorite elf.

@lukehellier I just said Peyton and Eli made the right choice not broadcasting tonight!

Vikings fans should join me in apologizing to America for making them watch this game.
