refugee: Cloud said he plans to propose a citywide moratorium on refugee resettlement, according to Metro News. Jeff Johnson said he wants to limit refugee resettlement until the city gets more information about the number of people moving to the city and the possible cost to taxpayers of providing services to them. A city council member in the central Minnesota community of St. He said Tuesday that he intends to bring it up when the council meets Nov. 6. The number of refugees admitted into the U.S. is determined by the federal government. Mayor Dave Kleis and several council members said Johnson's proposal is off base because resettlement is not the city's responsibility and no city money goes toward refugee resettlement.
