Jake,Ī right-wing Republican is running for governor of Wisconsin. Whats the problem with just stating the numbers "homicides are down 15% from last year (56 in 2022 and 66 in 2021 - still elevated from 2019 levels, 21 homicides)"? This "year-over-year" wording makes it seem like that is long term trend when it really is not. It is at best very confusing and at worst, outright deceptive. I was pretty disappointed (and confused) about the stats language. Why did the author choose to report stats "year-over-year (down to X from Y this time last year)"? Thank you for reporting on this, I don't think it would have made my newsfeed without your input. The presentation from the city appears to show homicides are on pace with last year (56 vs. The reason guns were not purchased in Minneapolis is because there are no retail outlets for guns in the city. A blockbuster report on gun violence in Minneapolis. This was just a PR stunt from the Met Council. Who really needs to hear from some reactionary living in Minnetonka on penal policy? Those of us with this predicted boondoggle literally in our backyards really don’t need gratuitous carping from the burbs. Kenilworth tour gives public an up-close look at lightrail construction They are now back to having full access to the regional parks. This was the inclusive, equity plan that would allow public access to public land and be favorable to seniors, ADA and mobility afflicted persons. This plan was labeled "Unique Lake Experiences-Concept B." This great access plan was shuttled immediately after the Kenwood Rec Center meeting that drew the raucous, anti-amenities residents to the plan. Also, this earlier Circulation and Access Plan included an ADA hard path through the "hidden, secluded" area of Cedar Lake. An earlier plan for Cedar/Isles Master Plan had addressed this issue with public access to the east side of Cedar and public access/ADA-compilable through the Kenilworth channel (another area where the public had very limited access to park land) to link up to Lake of the Isles. The east side of Cedar Lake, in spite of the Park Board owning public park land along the entire corridor, has had exclusive use of this public lake shore for 80 years. It's as if they want the area for themselves. Why do the nearby residents want to keep a lake "secluded and hidden"? These are not attractive attributes for public parks. The "Preferred Concept" Plan is a horrible plan that caters to the loud, privileged voices of the residents near the regional park who want to keep it a "hidden gem" and keep it "secluded." Circulation and access were, from the start, prominent issues especially concerning Cedar Lake and Kenilworth Channel. Park Board Releases Preferred Plan for Cedar Lake and Lake of the Isles Redesign Beliefs of this sort are driven by legitimate concerns, but also by networks of misinformation similar to those that have driven anti vaccine sentiment that has put people and communities at risk. Please consider reaching out to local experts on electromagnetic radiation, like from the U of M, as well as information from sources other than the FCC, like the FDA so that it doesn’t appear to be too biased. I know you want to try to present community voices, but I think that it’s important to demonstrate that these frequencies are safe and there really isn’t a debate about that. Ionizing radiation, like ultraviolet light or X-rays, have much higher energy levels and are above the visible light spectrum, and can cause cancer by damaging DNA. It’s also important to note that these frequencies exist below the visible light spectrum, and are non-ionizing which means they don’t have the level of energy that can cause cancer. I think that it’s important to note that these radio frequencies have been in use already, they are just now being assigned for commercial use.
