What's Mayor Rybak's Next Move?
The three-term mayor of Minneapolis announced Thursday that "it was one of the most difficult decisions I've had to make."
After 12 years as the mayor of Minneapolis, RT Rybak is stepping down at the end of his term.
"Whether or not I'm working as mayor, I'm going to be working for Minneapolis. And I want to assure people that I'm going to stay very involved in keeping Minneapolis moving in the right direction," Rybak said.
The Star Tribune reported that there are at least four contenders vying for the now open seat.

RT was a good Mayor in many ways, progressive and bold in the beginning, at least. With each re-election his ego and ambition grew more than his hopes for the City.
I was among the early Rybak supporters he sloughed off as he adopted "more realistic" and easier to get credit for, compromises. Not that compromise is bad as a tactic, but political deals with Corporations and special interests thwart democracy.
