[Mpls] Did Gary Schiff help author the "Criminalizing of Cub" Ordinance?

Keith says: 

Gary Schiff is trying so hard to fill Jackie Cherryhomes' tyrannical shoes. 
He must believe there is not much on the front burner while he is busy keeping 
working stiffs from lighting up at their corner bar. Or he is busy creating an 
arcane rental application fee ordinance that does not address real needs of 
tenants, nor landlords; and hence our City as a whole. Now Cub is guilty when 
their shopping cart is stolen. I ask; is Gary in the house? Perhaps whenever 
young Gary misbehaved; Mom would slap his brother?

I would hazard a guess that NO store wants its carts stolen. Perhaps I am 
wrong, but I am sure that any store manager for Cub, Rainbow, or even Lund's 
who gives permission for store carts to be taken and not returned would need 
to find a new job when "Corporate" found out about it. So fining a business 
for having its property stolen is indeed ridiculous!  Such stolen property 
should, if anything, be impounded by the police whenever spotted.  Then if 
the store did not come get it, the cart  should be disposed of and the store 
assessed the cost of disposable.

Stolen bicycles are randomly left laying around my neighborhood after being 
stripped by the thieves.  It is a problem, so should the owners of the 
stolen bikes be fined when the bikes are discovered?
