Minneapolis City Council Member Ralph Remington to step down
Minneapolis City Councilman Ralph Remington who represent 10th ward made a surprise announcement today that he is stepping down after serving only one term.
He feels that he has done his work in the City Hall getting all of his projects done. His projects were development plan for Uptown area (completed) and Lyn-Lake business area (still in progress).
Other two council members has announced their retirement was Scott Benson (11th ward) and Paul Ostrow (1st ward).
He just don’t want to consider being on City Council as lifelong public civil service. He is thinking about getting jobs in either politics or arts. He used to be actor, arts director and very involved with arts. He also just wants to have his own life and move on.
His quote in Minneapolis Star Tribune was "Obviously I was trying to be a voice for African-American residents since there's only two blacks on the City Council."
He was only Council Member that voted against appointment of Tin Dolan as Chief of Police for Minneapolis Police Department.
On April 10th the tenth ward DFL will have endorsing convention.
