In this episode, New Hope aspires to become a Step 4 MN Green Step City, with all its costs and regulations. We also discuss an issue in Robbinsdale, where they are excited about the Blue Line Extension... until they find out they don't want the strings that go along with the "free money".

We also discuss the trend of many cities to give preference to certain businesses over others. It may come in the form of tax abatements, TIF Districts, loans, and more. Giving out corporate welfare isn't the answer.
