Every year at the Waite Park Fall Festival I table with a budget activity where people can vote on what I should prioritize for the budget. Each person gets 3 beads they can put in any of the jars as they see fit (all 3 in 1 jar, 1 in 3 different jars, etc.). Here are the results we got on Saturday.

Invest in social housing 103

Joint statement from the entire Minneapolis City Council.

This is a heartbreaking day for our City. Our hearts are with the students, families, educators, and clergy of Annunciation Catholic Church and School.

The entire Minneapolis City Council stands united in the face of this unspeakable attack on our children. We stand with the students, families, educators, clergy, and our entire community grieving not only the lives lost, but also the loss of our sense of safety and security that should come with going to school and gathering in places of worship. Our schools and our faith communities are supposed to be sanctuaries, not places where people fear for their lives.

This tragedy is something that has become far too common in our country. Every level of government must act to ensure that these preventable tragedies never happen again. We are committed to working with local, state, federal government, and all other partners to pass meaningful changes to our laws that will make our community safer. Thoughts and prayers cannot be our only response.

We condemn those who would use this tragedy to divide our community. In this moment, we must be united in grief, healing, and action. We will continue to stand together with our entire community as we navigate this devastating moment together.

Thank you to all first-responders, both law enforcement and emergency medical services, for their quick response to the call and immediate intervention. Their action no doubt prevented this tragedy from becoming even worse.

Please hold our city in your hearts as we grieve, begin the healing process, and recommit ourselves to creating a safer future.

There will be a vigil tonight at Lynnhurst Park (1345 W Minnehaha Pkwy, Minneapolis, MN 55419) from 8:00–9:00 PM for the victims of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting, organized by Moms Demand Action and Protect MN. Please be mindful as you make your way to the park. Parking in the immediate area is very limited. We encourage those who are able to take public transportation, bik
