Big Tent News: Minneapolis Appoints First Lesbian Police Chief

Minneapolis Appoints First Lesbian Police Chief

Minneapolis has chosen a new police chief and she's openly gay. Janeé Harteau, who has been on the police force for 25 years, won unanimous approval from the City Council on Friday. Mayor R.T. Rybak praised Harteau for her "willingness to step forward for what is absolutely the toughest job in the city."
