Turning to breaking news, community safety remains top of mind. The city continues its work on police reform, with Mayor Jacob Frey recently issuing an executive order to ensure the reforms outlined in the federal consent decree are implemented locally. This effort underscores our commitment to both constitutional and effective policing, even as federal approval was denied. These changes are meant to rebuild trust and strengthen partnerships between law enforcement and our neighborhoods.
On the crime front, there’s still a somber mood in North Minneapolis after the tragic shooting of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark inside their Brooklyn Park home last weekend. The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office says state charges against the accused, Vance Boelter, will move forward. In response to the shooting, neighbors on Broadway and Penn are banding together to boost security and support one another. It’s a powerful show of community resilience.
Meanwhile, Minneapolis police responded quickly to a planned “takeover” event at the largest playground in Crystal, where concerns rose after hundreds of teens intended to gather. That area is now off-limits for the moment as authorities assess how to ensure safety for everyone. It’s a reminder of how we all need to stay vigilant and look out for each other.
Shifting to City Hall, there’s been a positive development for the job market. The City Council voted to broaden anti-discrimination policies, now protecting job seekers and workers from bias based on height, weight, housing status, or even criminal history. This means more Minneapolis residents can pursue job opportunities on a fair, level playing field.
Real estate continues to sizzle. Downtown and the North Loop are seeing strong interest, with home prices up slightly from last year and rental vacancies tightening. Employers are also hiring, with more than a thousand new jobs posted this past week, especially in hospitality, health care, and green energy.
Culturally, we’re still feeling the energy from lively Juneteenth celebrations at Powderhorn Park and in North Minneapolis, with music and dancing bringing folks together from across the city. Tonight, First Avenue hosts a sold-out show from local band Poliça, and the Stone Arch Bridge Festival returns tomorrow along the riverfront.
A quick shoutout to the Washburn High School baseball team, which clinched a spot in the state semifinals yesterday—a great boost for school spirit as summer break kicks off.
And to end on a feel-good note, the Hortman family’s last service dog trainee, Gilbert, found his forever home with them after proving just a bit too friendly for K9 duty. Stories like this remind us of the bonds—and hope—that keep our city strong.
This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
