Critics see the mayor's repeated expense-report transgressions as a breach of trust that should prompt his resignation. A city employee involved in a similar matter would have been fired, they contend.
As Young waits to learn whether he will face misdemeanor charges for the erroneous claims, he will hear from constituents on Tuesday. It's the first City Council meeting since news reports surfaced about the police investigation of his case.
For an open microphone session that promises to be well attended, he has turned the meeting gavel over to City Council Member Brad Aho.

Longtime resident Tommy Johnson, a blogger and political pundit, says he will tell the council that Young must go.
"Good leaders lead by example," Johnson said. One false expense claim "is an accident, two is a coincidence, three is a pattern and 26 is inexcusable. I think he should resign and I think he should be prosecuted."
Yep, that's MPP's own TwoPuttTommy. Great work covering this thing, TwoPutt. Yet another interesting aspect of this is that EP City Council Member Ron Case should be on hand -- Case is the DFL-endorsed candidate for the SD42 State Senate seat currently held by Republican David Hann.
See, the suburbs can be exciting too...
