MINNEAPOLIS The Minneapolis City Council voted
to approve the proposed city 2021 budget early Thursday morning, investing $7.7 million dollars of the budget on the Safety for All Plan, a move that redirects the money away from the Minneapolis police budget.
Hundreds of Minneapolis residents spoke at the final public comment session, with some pleading for City Council members to deliver the reforms they promised after George Floyd’s death, and others warning it would be irresponsible to cut officers amid soaring crime rates.
