The outgoing mayor, R. T. Rybak, who did his best to shame the Minnesota Orchestra Association into taking back their musicians, has been rushed to hospital with a cardiac event. His successor, Betsy Hodges, will be sworn in on Saturday with full gay men’s chorus, a beat boxer, hip-hop star, improvisation theatre and more… but no orchestra. Minneapolis is no longer on the orchestra map.

Mayor Betsy should make it her priority to put it back.
