Minneapolis City Council, Mayor and pundits oust Black/Disabled Chairman of Civil Rights Commission
Minneapolis, MN…On Friday, September 18, 2009 – Minneapolis Civil Rights Commission Chairman Ken Brown, a 7-year veteran of the Minneapolis Civil Rights Commission, was unceremoniously ousted.
72 hours before he was to file a complaint alleging heinous violations of misconduct by persons within the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights (MDCR), the Minneapolis City Council failed to re-appoint him to the commission.
Black Minneapolis City Council persons Don Samuels (Ward 5) and Ralph Remington (Ward 10) offered no explanation and remain mute.
In the complaint, known as a Commissioner’s Charge, Brown cites violations of ordinances, procedures and policies by members of the MDCR and employees of the City of Minneapolis, including specific charges against Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan and City of Minneapolis, Human Resource director Pam French.
Brown, who has been an outspoken critic of the leadership of the MDCR, was appointed to the Commission by the mayor in 2006. His term would have ended on Monday, September 21, 2009 at midnight, making the fact that he was removed just before filing his damaging report all the more conspicuous.
Brown is also the only appointee with an apparent physical disability and a Black male.
During his tenure, Brown repeatedly raised questions about processes and procedures followed by the MDCR and its director Michael Jordan.
Sources say he had hinted to the Minneapolis City Attorney’s office that the complaint he intended to file was forthcoming.
Brown says, “This is an attempt to silence my ongoing inquiry as to why the City of Minneapolis routinely violates civil rights ordinances, thereby denying complainants due protection under the law. The citizens of Minneapolis must be made aware of problems within the MDCR that prevent them from carrying out their charge to serve the people.”
Earlier last month, Brown also sent an email to Minneapolis City Council’s Scott Benson (Ward 11) asking why a Disparity Report had not been commissioned by the city since 1997.
Brown states, “The failure to have on hand an updated Disparity Report, the City of Minneapolis categorically denies minorities from gaining access to jobs and other opportunities, and it’s clear to me that they don’t care.”

North Minneapolis Politics: Part 2 – An open letter to Council Member Don Samuels: Will you rescind the Demolition Order for Uncle Bill’s Food Market?
Part 2 in a 4 part series titled, “North Minneapolis Politics.”
Definition of North Minneapolis: “4 lions and a deer…all wondering what’s for lunch.”
Dear Mr. Samuels,
On Thursday, July 16, 2009 – 6:30 p.m. at NorthPoint, located at 1313 Penn Avenue North in Minneapolis, there will be a meeting of the Willard-Homewood Organization (WHO) to discuss topics including the disposition of Uncle Bills Food Market located at 2428 Plymouth Avenue on the corners of Plymouth and Sheridan Avenues North.
You are invited to this meeting.
If you recall, the store was grandfathered in (zoning) to be a commercial property. The store sat vacant and lost its zoning rights, as it pertains to the city ordinances.
Mr. Samuels, we have our political differences and that’s okay. In the case of Uncle Bill’s Food Market and the City of Minneapolis along with your office and the former City Council President Ms. Cherryholmes and the “strong arm” tactics of City Hall, it has left the north Minneapolis community without a convenient source for milk and bread, as it pertains to the attack on “buildings” versus the true issues of a blighted community; economic development, jobs, education, and successful measurable outcomes and “quick shopping capabilities.”
This can’t happen anymore. Read more

Negros not welcomed at Boom Island for the 2009 Juneteenth Celebration – IBNN Exclusive
In breaking news IBNN sources close to the Twin Cities 2009 Juneteenth Celebration say the organization has been rejected from having its event at Boom Island this year as planned. After careful planning by the Twin Cities Juneteenth committee, the City of Minneapolis has rejected the events 2009 planned location.
On Monday, May 4, 2009 a meeting was held with the Minneapolis Park Police, 3rd and 4th Minneapolis Police Precincts and members of the Minneapolis Park Board to inform Juneteenth organizers that this year’s event had been rejected from the inner city location of Boom Island.
Mary Pargo, Executive Director of the Twin Cities Juneteenth Celebration said in an exclusive interview, “We were the last to find out about the decision to not let this celebration take place at Boom Island. We had planned this down to the wire and spent dollars to insure we sent the right message to the Twin Cities community. Now we have to start all over.”
Ms. Pargo says the Juneteenth Celebration will move back to Wirth Park.
Again the City of Minneapolis and political pundits deal the Black community a bad hand by obstructing open community engagement. This is further evidence of Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak’s “Massa-Plan” to dismantle the Black community by strategically blocking community events and reducing funding for these engagements that come too close to the White mainstream in downtown Minneapolis.
If you recall, page 36 of the Minneapolis Mayor’s 2009 Supplemental Budget it states the following: Read more
The Shameful Disenfranchisement of the Minority-Ethnic Workforce by Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak and Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights Director Michael Jordan – Could violations of the R.I.C.O. Act apply?
Economic Exclusions
“With the receipt of documents requested from the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights (MDCR) Contract Compliance Unit from 2005, to 2009 y-t-d, IBNN attests that the City of Minneapolis MDCR, and the Mayor’s office is in violation of the RICO Act as it pertains to city contracts and the alleged criminal procedures and policies which don’t adhere to MDCR ordinances or the law. The current procedures or lack of procedures by the City of Minneapolis and the MDCR obstructs Minneapolis’ minority-ethnic workforce by freezing out trained and available men and women by not notifying or distributing information of availability to General Contractors that participate on city contracts and not holding the GC’s accountable when it comes to compliance and city ordinances.
Furthermore, the continued exclusions on bids for city contracts to include advertising, marketing and public relations along with reduced outreach and contracts awarded by the City of Minneapolis have formed a racketeering process.
What will be the City of Minneapolis’ ‘corrective action’ be for over $400 million in non-compliance contracts?”
Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak comments frequently on the involvement of Summit Academy OIC as it pertains to the city’s top-of-mind collaboration with local agencies that train able bodied men and women to work on construction contracts with the City of Minneapolis. Mayor Rybak’s “Obama-Talk” does not reflect the man that was a top supporter of the President and his policies of transparency and collaborations.
Understanding that the best social service program is a JOB, why hasn’t the mayor followed through on his promise to assist in building capacity for the minority-ethnic construction trades and adding to the color scheme of the City of Minneapolis construction workforce?
Which also brings into question, where is Summit Academy/H.I.R.E. Minnesota’s Louis King? (Phone calls to Mr. King have not been returned.)
If Summit Academy OIC’s program has people ready to work, where are they? Read more
Fong Lee case: Is public gullible to believe Chief Dolan’s fairy tales and the Star Tribune’s biased reporting?
Editors note: On Tuesday, April 14, 2009 a request for information was hand delivered to the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights Investigative Unit. The request was for a simple activity report on the Fong Lee file to show what happened while the complaint was in the hands of the MDCR. The Independent Business News Network alleges that not one witness interview was done, even with the Asian American investigator who had the power to Supeona witnesses. Was this also a cover-up from city government?
After reading more about the high-profile Fong Lee case in today’s Star Tribune (April 14, 2009), I must ask two questions: “Does Chief Dolan think the public is gullible enough to believe his fairy tales?” and “Does the Star Tribune know how to report facts?”
The Fong Lee case reeks of foul play.
Since the shooting of Fong Lee happened in 2006, Chief Dolan has been stating that Lee had a gun tucked in the waistband of his pants, and that the Lee family and their attorneys have been fabricating the idea of a “planted gun.”
Also since the shooting, the Star Tribune has not been doing its due diligence to research and uncover the facts on this case. Instead, reporters have been merely regurgitating reports from the Minneapolis Police Department. Does the Star Tribune know how to report the facts? Or does the paper believe that just because words are printed on its pages that readers believe what’s written? I hope not. But that’s the impression I get each time I read more about the Fong Lee case in the Star Tribune. The two reporters (Rochelle Olson and David Chanen) who covered the story aren’t doing their due diligence to uncover all of the facts.
Two papers that are doing their research and are reporting the facts of the Lee case are the St. Paul Pioneer Press and the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder. Read more
Why Minneapolis citizens should hold Mayor R.T. Rybak accountable today, or elect a new Mayor in November
"Hey R.T., you knew about the problems in the MDCR in 2007. You should have fixed it then. Washington, DC is very nice in the Springtime!
(IBNN WILL HAVE THE FULL REPORT ONLINE ON MONDAY, MARCH 23, 2008. THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS HAS CUT THE LINK)
Yes We Can” and “Change.” These are two of the phrases that drove our nation to elect a President who was receptive to the needs of our people. Locally, Minneapolis city officials are using the same rhetoric as a way to align Mayor Rybak with the very people who voted for President Obama, and ultimately motivate these same people to vote for Rybak. This strategy may not work for Rybak because he’s failed on one key aspect — being receptive to the needs of our people.
In any number of President Obama’s speeches, he calls for a “transparent” process of government in order to keep citizens informed and aware, and as a way to fix the problems that occur in both state and local government. The Obama administration has even gone as far as establishing a Web site that will be maintained to outline how the Stimulus dollars are being disseminated, and how the money is being used in each state. To my knowledge, neither Mayor Rybak nor the city of Minneapolis has called for transparency in government, or implemented a Website detailing city contractual activities.
The City of Minneapolis is sitting on a powder keg of corrupt processes, which amount specifically to the city’s failure to deliver on contractual promises made to communities of color, and in general, to its mismanagement of programs that could best meet the needs of all citizens of Minneapolis.
Since 2004, City of Minneapolis has randomly cut programs it perceived were not working or were not benefitting the community. Programs like the Youth Summer Jobs Program and the Minneapolis Urban League’s Curfew/Truancy Center were programs that were working and were a benefit to the community, but were eliminated because they were perceived as not working. (The funding for the Urban League’s Curfew/Truancy Center was pulled and re-directed even though the program was working).
I ask where the process of transparency has been each time one of these programs was eliminated.
On Wednesday, March 25, 2009, Mayor R.T. Rybak will deliver his annual State of the City Address at 11:00 a.m. on at the new Coloplast North American Headquarters (1601 West River Road North, Minneapolis). Given the economic challenges facing our city, state and our nation, Mayor Rybak will use his address to lay out a road map of new initiatives for economic recovery.
In 2007, Rybak stated that “… my focus is on North Minneapolis, it and its great people. I’ve told the rest of the city that the focus will be to ‘clean up’ the north side.”
Thus far the “clean up” has been to identifying ways to “rid” the North Side’s Black community of economic power.
In 2007, you applauded the grand opening of ALDI’S at the corner of Lowry and Penn avenues. But what you didn’t say was how the new store was built without being in compliance the city’s goals of hiring a set number of women and minority contractors?
I ask where was the process of transparency when these women and minority contractors were denied or overlooked for this project?
Mayor Rybak you are no President Obama.
The citizens of Minneapolis deserve a superior individual to take the reins at the City; someone who will not talk about the “path to recovery” or “new incentives” — these are old ideas we’ve heard before. Just because there’s a Black man in the White House starting from scratch, doesn’t mean that Minneapolis has to start over – Mayor Rybak has been in office for too long!
Even at the General Mills Foundation’s – Hawthorne Huddle’s at Farview Park, you present a concern for the residents and businesses on the north side, but on Thursday, February 5, 2009 after Minneapolis Police had shot a Somali man more than 13 times, you still went on to announce to the audience what had happen earlier that morning, with no real concern. It was business as usual, just another Black man shot in north Minneapolis. What was even more disturbing was General Mills Foundation Executive Director Ellen Luger standing up and saying, “At least crime is down.” To us, a very poor comment made after Minneapolis Police had shot and killed a Somali man earlier that morning.
There are many reasons why Minneapolis citizens are fed up and in need of new city leadership. But what takes the cake is the utter lack of concern or attempt to abide by the compliance goals to hire set numbers of women and minorities for city projects. Why is there no concern? Because you believe your practices won’t be discovered.
To review the May 2007 Evaluation of the City of Minneapolis’ Department of Civil Rights Contract Compliance Unit, click here: http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/council/2007meetings/20070629/docs/CCU_Report_5-24-07.pdf, on page 20, under part III – Findings, states the following:
Findings: “Governmental and non-governmental entities governed by the Civil Rights Ordinance are NOT in full compliance with the hiring, contracting, reporting, monitoring, and enforcement mandates described in the contract compliance provision of the ordinance. The Civil Rights Ordinance mandates governmental and non-governmental contractors to comply with specific instructions during the pre-bid, bid, award, monitoring, enforcement, and closeout stages of the contracting process.
The Executive Summary also states: “The consequences outlined in the Civil Rights Ordinance for failure to comply with the provisions of the Ordinance are NOT being applied to firms that are in non-compliance. With the study also reporting that the Contract Compliance Unit does not have the capacity to effectively fulfill its mandate.”
Based on this report prepared by The Roy Wilkins Center for Human Relations & Social Justice; Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs and the University of Minnesota, dated May 2007 – Commissioned by the City of Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights under Michael Browne, this unit has overlooked the population for which they should serve. If this were a movie script, we’d probably find out that people have been on the take.
Even Minneapolis City Councilman Cam Gordon posted this remark in the Topics in Minneapolis Issues Forum on July 22. 2007 at 5:5o p.m. which reads;
I wanted to call attention to a report, EVALUATION OF THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL RIGHTS CONTRACT COMPLIANCE UNIT, which will be presented to the Health Energy and Environment Committee on Monday, July 23rd:
“I am still reviewing it, but the conclusions are disturbing and show a need for serious reform. In the City we have policies in place to protect traditionally disadvantaged groups from discrimination and to expand employment and economic opportunities to all residents regardless of race, gender or disability. When we draw up contracts we often set goals about how many women or “minority” workers we expect a company to use –sometimes awarding them to companies who agree to our goals. We have a Small & Underutilized Business Program to help us better utilize women and minority-owned firms. To oversee these efforts we have a Contract Compliance Unit. The study evaluates the effectiveness of this unit of the Civil Rights Department.
If you are interested, I encourage you to look at this report and welcome your thoughts. It is well done and seems to reveal a gap between policies/goals and their implementation. Hopefully we can use the report to move us towards improvement.”

Mayor R.T. Rybak knew that there were some contractors that have not met requirements for employment. With some contractors having 4-5 letters in their file for non-compliance, with one contractor in violation over 18 times that has never been considered for disbarment who continued to receive city contracts.
The Hiawatha Maintenance Facility was delivered to the Minneapolis City Council without being in compliance of set numbers of 6% Women, 11% Skilled and 11% unskilled as Compliance Manager Johnny Burns who says, “We received the certificate from the State of Minnesota, which means their (the contractor) are in compliance.” This is just one of the many examples of the lack of city oversight for pompous, unconcerned city managers to bypass the checks and balances and have no accountability for fact based findings.
This report shows catastrophic losses to the minority-ethnic and women contractor community, not to mention the soft-services that could have been provided to the City of Minneapolis Communications Department for outreach to build capacity to build the numbers in “calls for bid.”
A liberal point of view has not worked for the City of Minneapolis, nor will a cut-baby-cut, then spend-boy-spend help the city to regain its soul and return to the “pre-Rybak” years of prosperity and a fiduciary responsibility with jobs for youth and the opportunity for citizens of this city to once again be proud of Minneapolis and have a Mayor that “sleeps when the wind blows*.”
In 2009, it will not matter if the Mayor is a Democrat, Republican, Independent or a Green Party candidate. The people of Minneapolis are very intelligent. We are looking for mayoral candidate that will deal with us on a “community level” with “corporate” knowhow and sound business practices.
The heinous oversights in city departments deem Mayor Rybak a vote of “no confidence.”
At this place in Minneapolis’ history, we can’t afford another “bunch” of years wasted behind a pretty smile and a sharp dresser (sometimes). The Minnesota GOP, the Independence Party and the Green Party of Minnesota will not sit idle and let R.T. waltz into another term. There are also Democrats that will challenge the current mayor’s platform.
One thing I can promise the citizens of Minneapolis, if you elect a different Mayor in Minneapolis, the following things will happen:
1. You can remain a Democrat, Republican, Green or Independent.
2. No City of Minneapolis contract will leave city hall unless it’s in compliance, per city ordinances!
3. Youth will have summer jobs, as long as they stay in school.
4. The Minneapolis Public School System will be held accountable for ALL children passing and failures will not be an option!
5. Areas of blight in Minneapolis that need to build capacity for business will considered a “Fair Tax Zones” and “No Tax Zones” this is the only way to uplift an area like Broadway Avenue and other areas in Minneapolis.
6. With a change of leadership, and a party “principal” in charge, folks at city hall won’t have the opportunity to neglect local community any more.
…Listen closely, a new generation of leadership will be delivered to you.

Does the dissolution of the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights Investigative Unit provide leverage for Mayor R.T. Rybak to puruse the gubernatorial post? (and more on the heel of Black History Month)
By Donald W.R. Allen, II
On Tuesday, February 24, Minneapolis officials held a meeting at the Minneapolis Park Board headquarters to address the city’s budget re-design, initiated by even deeper budget cuts, and the impact these cuts will have on specific departments in city government.
One department to fall victim to the budget redesign is the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights Investigative Unit. Mayor R.T. Rybak plans to eliminate the department and transfer all civil rights complaints/investigations to the state level. A casualty of this department’s dissolution is its 21-member Human Rights Commission, headed by Commissioner Michael Browne, who has stated that if the responsibilities of the department are moved to the state level, it would be difficult to keep up with compliance issues and maintain the number of investigators to respond to issues at the city level.
Essentially, by eliminating the Civil Rights Investigative Unit, Mayor Rybak is sabotaging the process that has allowed the city’s African Americans and other people of color, as well as whites, to voice our grievances and feel as if we’ve gotten some resolution from the city regarding our concerns. Without the civil rights investigative unit, where will Minneapolis residents voice our concerns regarding the city and get results? The State?
The Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights Investigative Unit must remain part of Minneapolis city government.
Transferring the Civil Rights Investigative Unit to the state level will create a failed state government. 1). City-level issues will overwhelm and backlog state-level government. As a result of the backlog, issues pertinent to Minneapolis residents will be slow to process, will be overlooked or denied the appropriate attention they deserve. 2). A backlogged state government, facing financial shortfalls, will be unable to hire additional staff and investigators, or effectively serve its Minneapolis and St. Paul residents. Low morale eventually will permeate the unit forcing staff and investigators to resign. 3). Once Minneapolis residents realize that state-level government is ineffective at handling civil rights complaints, they will voice their complaints elsewhere, or not at all (which is probably Rybak’s ultimate goal).
Mayor Rybak claims that the state’s budget deficit has prompted him to elimination of the city’s civil rights investigative unit and transfer its services to the state level, where similar services are already performed.
The city’s website discusses its financial deficit:
“…we face financial challenges today [because of] the state of Minnesota’s budget. Minnesota’s budget has not had the same long-term fiscal stewardship Minneapolis has had. For too long, the state has used short-term budget fixes, and avoided strategic choices. Today’s state fiscal crisis, like the one that happened in 2003, and the one we could expect a few years from now, could have been partly avoided if they adopted some of the long term fiscal strategy that has helped us restore fiscal stability to the city of Minneapolis.”
I assert that R.T. Rybak is dissolving the civil rights department to position himself for a gubernatorial run. The proposed budget deficit and departmental redesigns are his attempt to improve his chances for a run at the state’s top seat.
Minneapolis’ Department of Civil Rights has been plagued by incompetence and dysfunction for decades. Specifically, the complaint investigation unit has been notorious for failing to adequately investigate civil rights complaints, with cases languishing for more than five years without a resolution. After Browne’s appointment to the post, marked improvements were noticed within the department. In fact, the civil rights department became a little too successful, especially when it came to upholding complaints involving Minneapolis police misconduct. In 2007, under the direction of Michael Jordan, the civil rights commissioner who assumed the post after Browne, the department experienced a rash of staff firings, low morale and complaints from five high-ranking Black police officers who sued the city and the Minneapolis police chief for racial discrimination. Maybe Mr. Jordan and Mayor Rybak should look for new jobs? (Just a thought!)
With the civil rights department out of sight, Rybak is better able to leverage his mayoral successes within city government, as well as with his supporters and constituents, in his pursuit of the gubernatorial post.
Rybak’s rhetoric, which places the blame on state leadership for the city’s budget deficit is a political maneuver often used by elected officials who have their eye on future political aspirations. This kind of rhetoric is not new. For example, in coming months, many elected officials will be saying that they have no aspirations to pursue any other position, and that their first goal is to fulfill their current responsibilities. Before long, headlines will read that a certain official has been appointed to a certain position.
Mayor Rybak wants civil rights complaints investigated at a state level so that any light shed on internal wrangling and community complaints regarding police brutality are not reflected on him. If the civil rights investigative unit is transferred to the state level, Rybak is in a better position to leverage his successes as Minneapolis Mayor: He can claim that under his administration all departments operated smoothly; any departments that experienced difficulty were quickly corrected. More importantly, he can comment on how the civil rights investigative unit can be run effectively at state-level government, or recognize the department’s appropriate fit and transfer its operations back to the city.
What surprises me about Rybak’s decision to eliminate Minneapolis’ Department of Civil Rights Investigative Unit is that not one of the “self-appointed” leaders from the Black community has stood up to question or criticize the mayor for eliminating the unit, or to question the lack of transparency in Rybak’s decision-making process. They would have a valid case considering the number of slated construction projects that have received funding to hire or contract with African-American employees and business, but have so far failed to hire a sufficient number.
The Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights Investigative Unit must remain part of Minneapolis city government. The fact that Rybak is cutting this department sends a message to the African-American community and other communities of color that “liberty and justice for all” isn’t valued by Mayor Rybak (as long as he is running for the governor’s post).
