ReConnect Rondo joins national coalition of cities seeking redress for highway construction

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:05:33 GMT

Cities bisected by interstate highway construction in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s often share what some might liken to the equivalent of historical wounds. Middle-class Black and immigrant communities found themselves uprooted or isolated by asphalt, often without just compensation for the impact on their homes and small businesses.In St. Paul’s historically-Black Rondo neighborhood alone, some officials have calculated that the lost wealth would exceed $157 million in today’s dollars.A summit this week at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown St. Paul aims to bring together some 25 cities that share similar experiences with highway construction, a first step toward launching a collaborative new national “movement” dedicated to reversing the worst of its impacts, said Keith Baker, executive director of ReConnect Rondo.The inaugural “Reconnecting Communities” conference opened with a morning address Thursday from St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter.

Rural law enforcement agencies struggling to retain workforce

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:05:33 GMT

CAPITAL REGION (NEWS10) – Many law enforcement agencies have struggled to recruit and retain a workforce. According to experts, it’s a national trend that has a significant impact on smaller, rural communities.That’s because they have a smaller tax base and that affects law enforcement budgets and ultimately staffing, according to the Small and Rural Law Enforcement Executive Association. It’s a problem Montgomery County Sheriff Jeff Smith is all too familiar with.“In general, the numbers are down taking our exams and then the length it takes to get the scores back and do the background checks and actually get somebody through the entire hiring process has caused major delays in getting people out onto the street,” said Smith. Those delays mean less officers on patrol and that impacts response times – which can take up to 20 minutes in some counties.

Review: 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour' movie

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:05:33 GMT

It opens with a clock counting down until show time — the dropped stomach, rollercoaster slowly encroaching its apex sensation — and then, a gentle fake out. Taylor Swift is heard before she is seen. “It's been a long time...” her voice carries. Then the drop hits: an abridged performance of “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince” into “Cruel Summer,” a track that TikTok breathed new life into four years after its initial release on her 2019 album “Lover.”This is the moment it should become clear: “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” film is a near exact replica of her blockbuster concert performance, which recaps all 10 of her studio albums across 17 years of recorded work. There will be no narrative breaks, no behind-the-scenes footage, no additional ornamentation of the monolithic set (with the exception of a few CGI effects and album title cards to introduce each epoch.) The film delivers on the promise of its title: this is the Eras Tour in full — conveniently viewable at an AMC ...
