It sounds like MPD had a lot of officers on call, ready to work, so I am also curious how that worked. With $5 million worth of over time in effect, that sounds like an all hands on deck kind of operation to me.
Chief O'Hara said they had $5 million in overtime during this time, too.
Hey terrible news! Mn Sen. Ann Rest has cut the HCMC-saving sales tax plan from 1% to .25%, hiked the Twins’ skim (from $7m to $9m, way above current $1.1m). The sales tax will fall far short of what HCMC needs, so will do more to save the Pohlads than the hospital. assets.senate.mn/committees/2...
John, you have broken Josh.

I had a double take when I checked the sun light schedule today. She is staying up until almost 8 p.m. lately!
TODAY'S SUN (APRIL 13): she got up at 6:31 a.m., setting at 7:56 p.m. for almost 13.5 hours of sunlight.
may we rejoice as it's not every day we get this much light.
bruh, I read this thread in *detail.* I have one new headlight and one old headlight so the cloudiness bugs me on the regular. THANK YOU.
Can you do this without removing the headlight from the vehicle? Or is a lot of the cloudiness behind the headlight cover?
Thank you!
Thanks for this. FWIW, Cam Gordon and I report on City Hall when we can via @southwestvoices.bsky.social. We have a few stories coming out next week. Obviously @taylordahlin.com and @wedge.live are the goat re: up-to-the-minute reporting
Is that their tagline?
Something for myself and my niblings to look at. And an option to take to my student interns for writing examples. I am open to all suggestions. Just miss having a paper around.

Blueberries and yogurt have jumped a few dollars at Cub and co-op
Is it just me, or did grocery prices just jump the shark?

Lyndale Avenue will get a separated bikeway when it's reconstructed in the next few years. Hennepin County heard that you were deeply skeptical of the previous design that had a shared use path.

Oh boy. MNSure was a nightmare for me, too. So very grateful to have it, such a pain to deal with. In the end, when I tried to pay for coverage I didn't realize I didn't pay for (bills were never itemized), they refunded me the money and wouldn't let me pay.
I shall maintain my glowy ignorance to keep asking those questions. I appreciate your cynicism, no sarcasm.
Thank you for your insight. Some context: It seems odd to do training over an already highly polluted area of town, no? Also highly residential. And in the middle of a work day.
Thank you
