Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has unveiled a budget proposal that includes significant cuts to a violence prevention program and the elimination of over 100 city positions. This plan also necessitates an 11.3% increase in property taxes to address a $32 million budget deficit. The proposal involves merging several city departments and aims to reallocate resources towards community ambassadors. The City Council will now review and negotiate these proposals before a final budget is approved in December.
