Showing up for a ribbon cutting and supporting small business are two different things. Dayton gave away #MBAC which assisted minority, women-owned, and small disadvantaged businesses. We have seen one business open and another close in its place.
I will prioritize small business grants/funding.

Update/feedback on #MBAC recording:
Hey #bikechi have you wanted to attend an #MBAC meeting but weren't able to take time off from work? Well, you're in luck! We've secured recording services & will host 9/5's meeting online so you can learn about upcoming bike projects straight from the front lines.
[ #MBAC update ] Glad we attended yesterday’s Mayor’s Bicycle Advisory Council meeting. Major announcement shared re: @DivvyBikes. There’s 9yrs left on @lyft /divvy contract & by the end there will be many more bikes & 2/3s will be e-bikes. Also someone presented in a BLU tshirt.
#bikechi please help us find the answer to a “margarita 🍸bet” we made with Lauren at today’s #mbac meeting. We want to know what the fine is for businesses that shovel snow into bike lanes. #priceisright rules apply. #1dollarbob
