Clearly owns commercial/office real estate in the city.

Never forget who the real influencers of decisions are: The wealthy owners of property in this country.
If I paid him to say that I'd want my money back because that's not exactly going to do achieve my goals.
working in office culture = more people in his city spending money day to day + more offices needed because workers are expected to be there + more property value from more property demand due to return to office culture.
Mayors of cities have a vested interest in having full office buildings which provide more funding to the city through worker/poor tax (sales tax) instead of corporate tax hikes.
If the ownership class stands to benefit from the status quo continuing they will 100% impose the status quo.
Sure, and you don't accomplish that by insulting all your employees. This guy shot himself in the foot with a howitzer.
Yeah I know. My point is how is being an ass going to achieve that.
If I'm paying him to try to get people to come back to the office how is anything that he is doing achieving that goal?
Oddly enough Hennepin County doesn't let you search property by owner or property tax payer.
