EMS tip: We do not get paid based on how many patients we transport. We barely get paid at all. If EMS’ advice is to go and get checked out it’s bc we genuinely believe you would benefit from higher-level care.

email from commisioner jason garcia announces that the minneapolis park board will be considering a resolution on 10/7 on preserving the historic nicollet island homes as affordable housing for low & moderate income people! the current renters are fighting to stay as the homes are slated to be sold

Nicollet Island Historic Affordable Housing
Inbox

Garcia, Jason R.

to Jason

Dear Constituents and Community Members,

Thank you for your emails and phone calls over the past several weeks inquiring about the status of the Nicollet Island Historic Homes Limited Partnership (NIHH) lease in the event of a sale. As you might imagine, given the complex nature of the lease and the sublease through CPED, this has been an intricate issue to approach. After discussions with staff and legal counsel, I am pleased to inform you the Board will be considering a resolution with the aim of preserving affordable housing on Nicollet Island. This item will be discussed during our next regular board meeting on Wednesday, October 7th.

It is our interpretation that affordable housing is a requirement of the original lease, and remains a requirement as long as the land is leased from the park board. The resolution would specify “that the Board of Commissioners directs the Superintendent to review thoroughly any terms of any offer or sale between NIHH and any proposal to buy, acquire or assume the Sublease or any ownership interests in the Ground Lease or properties as well as thoroughly review the proposed terms of any new Sublease between CPED and any new possible sublessee or owner with respect to the properties now held or leased by NIHH and the MPRB expects such transaction will reflect a plan and provisions for affordable housing for low and moderate income people;” (emphasis mine).

I am hopeful that my fellow Commissioners will join me in supporting this resolution. In previous meetings, Commissioners Engelhart and Forney have voiced their support for maintaining affordable housing on Nicollet Island, and I feel this is an issue that is important to many others on the Board as well.

Thank you for your efforts around this, and I look forward to getting this resolution passed!

Jason Garcia

RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE SUPERINTENDENT TO REVIEW THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROVISIONS IN THE GROUND LEASE AND GROUND SUBLEASE BETWEEN THE MINNEAPOLIS
PARK AND RECREATION BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS ON NICOLLET ISLAND PARK
LOCATED WITHIN CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI RIVERFRONT REGIONAL PARK
Whereas, The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) was created by the Minnesota
Legislature in April 1883 and has the authority to manage and operate park facilities;
Whereas, In 1985, the MPRB entered a Ground Lease with the Minneapolis Community
Development Agency (now Community Planning and Economic Development department (CPED)
of the City of Minneapolis concerning residential property on Nicollet Island Park (Nicollet Island)
which now consists of 47 housing units (the “Ground Lease”)

Many people who were critical of MPD cost overruns were denounced as alarmist or anti-police. Now MPD has admitted to the abuse of overtime hours. I am grateful current leadership is cracking down but deeply frustrated by this betrayal of the public trust and the time it took to get answers.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Please help. People's needs always increase this time of year but this year is even greater than usual, and when we run out of tents people are sleeping unsheltered. Finances are tight for everyone but how far are any of us from homelessness?

Weeknight drop-ins have tripled we are tired and out of money. Please donate via the links in our bio so we can continue to support unhoused people.

We cannot keep up with the demand caused by current situations in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, we need financial support.
