[quote=Anonymous]Mary Cheh went along with a lot of the bad decriminalization ideas for years - she voted for the fare decriminalization bill (only Evans and Mendelson voted against it), for the Criminal Code Reform bill, was with the Council in shrinking the police force in 2020:

[quote]But the ground may well be shifting on how big MPD needs to be. Just a few years ago, most elected officials acted to stem a tide of officer retirements and pledged to rebuild the department to 4,000 officers. (It’s currently at just under 3,900.) Speaking on Monday, Ward 3 Councilmember Mary Cheh questioned the need for that many.

“I don’t see the need for the 4,000 officers,” she said. “That should have to be justified. If we have fewer officers, we have amounts of money that should be put into violence prevention and other needs.”[/quote]

In the end she endorsed Frumin. Honestly, the continued support for Cheh is a pretty good demonstration of why this city is in such a mess. Someone can support bad defund legislation for years, and people will pretend it never happened.[/quote]
