Wedge LIVE!

Pedal Pod: Aisha Chughtai, Minneapolis City Council Member in Ward 10


Listen Later

We continue the Pedal-Pod series, recorded on location at Open Streets  on Lyndale Avenue -- everyone's favorite summer street festival in  Minneapolis. John boots failed Ward 13 candidate Mike Norton out of the  pod-mobile so he can pick up a winner: Aisha Chughtai, who represents  Ward 10 on the City Council. We talk about bike earrings, Aisha's status  as "the bus lady," whether she's able to summon optimism about the  future, the debate over Mayor Frey's pick to be city coordinator,  frustrations over the government structure "trump card," a look ahead to  the 2023 election, rent control. John asks Aisha to name her favorite  council colleague outside of her own progressive faction (the answer  just might surprise you). We look inward to reveal what's irritating  about ourselves. Finally, we end the conversation by saying hello to  Wedge neighborhood president Jason Garcia.
