## Resource

Barb Johnson, The longest-serving council president in city history sits down to share her unfiltered thoughts on today’s City Council, the ups and downs of keeping Target Center competitive, and the behind-the-scenes work that helped bring US Bank Stadium (and its economic impact) to Minneapolis. From navigating a changing council to the deals that shaped downtown’s sports and entertainment landscape, Johnson brings decades of institutional knowledge, North Side perspective, and the kind of no-nonsense insight that only comes from 20 years on the dais.   See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
