MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — While three Muslim council members were away to observe the Eid al-Adha holiday, the Minneapolis City Council narrowly voted to kill a measure that would have put a rent control question on the ballot this fall.
A majority of the council supports a 3% annual residential rent cap. But with Aisha Chughtai, Jeremiah Ellison and Jamal Osman out on Wednesday, the council voted not to move the measure forward, Minnesota Public Radio reported.

Democrats dropping muslims?

The Left doesn’t need to follow logic, or rules, or any of those other plebian notions...
After all, who will hold them to account?
The Somalis can only get up to their Section 8 voucher level, and landlords price it above to keep out the riff-raff. Smart move.
Now they are a threat. But good luck stopping them, now that they are the majority population of Dearborn.
A useful idiot is just an idiot when they are no longer useful.
Islamophobia does not exist.
A phobia is an unreasonable or unwarranted fear. It is neither unwarranted nor unreasonable to fear a socio-political system masquerading as a religion which demands that you be subjugated, enslaved or killed if you refuse to embrace it.
With official inflation well above the 3% increase allowed, property owners are going to be squeezed out, moslems will buy the buildings for a song.
Three Muslim council members skipped a meeting allowing the Minneapolis City Council to vote to kill a measure that would have put a rent control question on the ballot this fall.
