In the city's first municipal election since the murder of George Floyd, activists and organizers are on ballot—and so is the future of the police department.
The paper withdrew its endorsement Friday, following additional revelations for which the editorial board said Moore did not provide sufficient answers. The 51-year-old has been attempting to fend off questions about his residency in recent days, which had been discussed by Wedge Live! over the summer but did not gain traction publicly until an Oct. 19 report from the Star Tribune's newsroom.
After additional reporting, the Star Tribune Editorial Board can't recommend Minneapolis Ninth Ward candidate.
Moore affirmed some of the paper's reporting in a rebuttal, acknowledging he has lived in a home in Minneapolis' Ward 8 (blocks from Ward 9, he says) for 38 years and has a home in Oak Grove (25 miles from Ward 9) they use for "weekends, holidays and vacations."
