Vacant Minneapolis house demolished despite effort by TV host

Star Tribune: Latest |
| The claw of the yellow excavator tore bite after bite from the two-story Dutch Colonial at 3738 Dupont Av. N. The Minneapolis street on which the house had stood since 1907 was nearly empty of spectators as the building was methodically dismembered Thursday. By lunch time, only a pile of plaster, lath, and wood remained. |

Twin Cities home prices rising -- but don't call it a bubble yet

Twincities.com: News |
| Despite the steady rise in home prices over the past few months, Twin Cities' real estate veterans say it's too soon to call the market a bubble again. But it's also almost impossible to avoid a bidding war on almost any home priced below $200,000. |

Why I was arrested on the steps of the Justice Department
|
8.6.2013 |
MinnPost |
| On May 20, 500 evicted homeowners and their supporters gathered on the steps of the Justice Department to protest the lack of justice in the foreclosure crisis.
As an ELCA Lutheran pastor, I don’t normally find myself protesting iconic symbols of our nation, but recently found myself on the stairs of the Department of Justice in Washington D.C., much less b eing led away in handcuffs in solidarity with the protesters. But there I was on May 20, standing with 500 evicted homeowners and their supporters on the steps of the Justice Department to protest the lack of justice in the foreclosure crisis.
Rev. Matthew Bersagel
Before I really understood what the foreclosure crisis was all about — and before I had had a chance to meet homeowners who had been foreclosed on and evicted through little or no fault of their own — I was like many Americans. As a decent steward of my own finances, I had told myself that anyone in trouble just bought more house than they could afford. They should have ... |

Minnesota's tax plan: It’s not overreach; it’s overdue
|
5.6.2013 |
MinnPost |
| “That is the task which we begin today: to inaugurate an age in which our will is equal to our hopes. I believe that our people are waiting, and are ready, for such an age. They are waiting for government to catch up with them.” – Gov. Wendell R. Anderson, Inaugural Address, January 6, 1971
Chris Conry
Changing our tax code is a long-run project, and it’s controversial every step of the way. There’s a good reason for that: We negotiate and renegotiate our social contract through taxes. It’s where we sort out who pays and how much and for what. Everybody has a stake and everybody has an opinion. The tax changes coming in Minnesota's next biennium are no exception.
First, what happened? In a nutshell, we, as a state, did five things:
1) we raised $1.1 billion by asking the top 2% to pay 2% more,
2) we closed over $400 million in corporate tax loopholes,
3) we raised another $400 million in tobacco taxes,
4) we raised taxes nearly $100 million on large inheritances, and
5) ... |

Updates on some big urban-planning issues in the Twin Cities
|
31.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| Some think that journalists are like hungry dogs: once they glom on to an issue (usually a celebrity overdose, a natural disaster or a terrorist plot), they chew it to pieces. Others say we have the attention span of mosquitoes, flitting from one subject to another.
Either way, readers (or TV viewers) don't get much in the way of follow-up. Ask a reporter three or six or nine months later where Whitney Houston is buried or what happened after the city council voted down a highway proposal, you'll get a blank look. So, in an effort to be a little less superficial, I decided to go back and find out what happened with particular stories I covered in the last year.
Food-truck wars
Last year, as you recall, merchants along Marquette in downtown Minneapolis were suffering commercial indigestion from food trucks parked bumper to bumper between 7th and 8th streets. Bricks-and-mortar businesses complained of declining revenues, unfair competition, congested sidewalks, loss of parking spots and noise. ... |

All-day kindergarten a statewide reality in '14
|
20.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| And a sigh of relief from stressed-out moms … Jim Ragsdale’s Strib story says: “Most parents will have access to free, all-day kindergarten beginning in the Fall of 2014 under a $15.7 billion education funding bill given final approval by the Legislature on Sunday. The Senate approved the bill on a 41-26 vote and sent it to Gov. Mark Dayton . The bill is both the biggest single part of the state’s general fund budget and a top priority of the DFL Legislature. Their reason for taking the unpopular step of raising taxes is to provide the popular benefit of all-day kindergarten, as well as other education improvements. All-day kindergarten will be optional for school districts, but sponsors expect most districts to provide it. The bill includes $485 million in new money and includes a $40 million boost in scholarships for lower-income families to send their children to high-quality pre-schools; a $40 million increase in special education aid; and an increase in the basic classroom education formula. ... |
