A conversation with Elliott Payne, who's running for Minneapolis City Council in Ward 1. We ask Elliott about his time with the Minneapolis office of Performance and Innovation, public safety, transportation, why change needs a champion at city hall, and what he thinks about a proposal to restructure Minneapolis government to strengthen the mayor's office at the expense of the city council. John asks Elliott why he's potentially disrupting his life to run for office during hard times. Elliott expounds on his housing philosophy and what it means to be a dynamic and welcoming place. PeggySue pins Elliott down on his favorite Ward 1 restaurant. And most importantly, why are people calling it the "Eastside" instead of "Northeast"?
