RED WING If you talk to George Hintz, you ll hear a litany of disagreements with the Red Wing City Council.
Hintz, a member of the city s Advisory Planning Commission, isn t happy with the pedestrian bridge proposal. He disagrees with aspects of the Advisory Team on Government Policies and Practices, a group started to deal with issues of race and policing.
But, like many in town, he was willing to let processes play out until Feb. 19, when the city council voted 6-1 to fire Police Chief Roger Pohlman, citing a lack of trust, defensiveness on his part and poor communication with council members and city residents.
