The Public Service Commissioner says he doesn't want to see the public service slashed and burnt. Earlier this week, the New Zealand Initiative called for a culling of our 43 Government departments to just 20. Sir Brian Roche says everything's on the table - but the changes need to be measured. "The Initiative is one world view, I think these things have to evolve. I don't look at this being a big bang, we don't want to go through big slash/burn downsizings, those things are debilitating and I don't see those being required at this point."

Transportation council issues draft estimates A nearly two-year study of a proposed biking and walking trail between Beacon and Hopewell Junction recommended tearing out 13 miles of unused railroad tracks at a cost of $46 million to $56 million rather than installing the path alongside them. In a virtual presentation on Wednesday (Aug. 20), Mark Debald, transportation program administrator with the Dutchess County Transportation Council, and two engineers with Barton & Loguidice, said that keeping the tracks and widening their corridor to add an adjacent trail would cost $130 million to $150 million, have greater environmental impacts and require land purchases. Their recommendations, which can be viewed at beaconhopewellrailtrail.com and are open for comment through Sept. 12, call for five phases of construction along the unused tracks, which are called the Beacon Line and owned by Metro-North. The westernmost section would begin at Long Dock Park in Beacon and run 3.6 miles to Jan Van Pelt Park in the Town of Fishkill, winding around the city's southern perimeter before running along Fishkill Creek, parallel with Tioronda Avenue and the east end of Main Street. Major Beacon crossings would include Churchill Street and East Main Street (at the dummy light). The trail would continue underneath Route 9D (at Tioronda) and hug northbound Route 52 (Fishkill Avenue) to the city line on its way to Jan Van Pelt. That segment, which is projected to be the most used because of Beacon's population density, would cost $8 million to $10 million, said Chris Hannett of Barton & Loguidice. From Jean Van Pelt Park, the trail would continue 2 miles to Sarah Taylor Park in the Village of Fishkill, cross Route 9 to connect to a 1.7-mile stretch to Doug Phillips Park in the Town of Fishkill, and wind 4.1 miles to the trailhead at the Hopewell Depot Museum in East Fishkill. From there, bikers and cyclists could access the Dutchess Rail Trail and Maybrook Trailway. The study also recommends repurposing and rehabbing six existing bridges, building a seventh over Route 9 and considering two more over Routes 52 and 82. Funding the trail will be a challenge, said Debald. "We need to identify an agency or municipalities that are willing to apply for funding and potentially manage and design and construct a project, whether it's a phase or the entire trail," he said. "Things take time." The report identifies other hurdles: Because the rail ties contain creosote, a wood preservative and pesticide considered to be toxic, they will require special handling and disposal. Installing a paved trail without damaging a fiber optic line alongside the tracks will also be a challenge, and culverts need to be repaired or replaced. Constructing the trail will require an easement from Metro-North and permits from the state Departments of Environmental Conservation and Transportation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and four municipalities, including Beacon. The line runs through private property, such as Montfort Brothers in Fishkill, where forklifts and front loaders cross the tracks between the masonry plant and storage area. But Hannett and Tom Baird, also with Barton & Loguidice, said the company is open to allowing the trail to cross the southern part of its property.

Just as the US Department of Defense should change its name back to the more accurate and honest War Department—its true function and its title from 1789 until 1947 when it morphed into the National Military Establishment (NME), and then, with mad-help from a PR offensive in 1949, the DoD—state and city organizations with names such as “child welfare” and “family services” should stop air-brushing their true functions—the Departments of Family Policing. We're joined in conversation today with Erin Miles Cloud, the mother of two dazzling kids, a civil rights attorney, and co-editor of a new book from Haymarket called How to End Family Policing: From outrage to action.

In part two of this two-part special of the Chuck Toddcast, Chuck sits down with New York Times reporter German Lopez to explore one of America's most pressing criminal justice challenges: why police solve far fewer murder cases than their international counterparts. Lopez, breaks down the complex factors behind America's low homicide clearance rates, from resource allocation and detective shortages to the critical role of community trust. The conversation reveals how departments struggle with everything from evidence analysis—which isn't nearly as straightforward as television suggests —to the stark disparities in solve rates for cases involving Black victims.The discussion moves beyond statistics to examine real-world solutions and the political realities of police reform. Lopez explains how high-crime communities often want more effective policing rather than less, while politicians frequently weaponize public sentiment instead of funding proven solutions. From exploring whether the FBI should play a larger role in murder investigations to discussing how journalism can better cover criminal justice issues outside major metropolitan areas, this wide-ranging conversation offers both sobering insights into America's murder problem and hope for evidence-based reforms that could save lives.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Timeline:00:00 Introduction01:00 DC is much safer today than it was in the 90s03:30 German Lopez joins the Chuck Toddcast! 05:15 Lack of law enforcement resources towards solving homicides 06:15 Other countries have much higher rates of solving murder cases 08:15 It's possible police are more focused on preventive policing 09:45 The chance of leaving evidence is higher than ever 11:00 We have better tools than ever for solving cases 12:45 Analyzing evidence isn't as easy as TV makes it look 15:00 How many murders are gang related? 16:30 Lack of trust in minority communicates leads to lower solve rates 18:00 It feels much worse in high crime communities than the statistics 21:00 We haven't best targeted police resources 24:00 There are plenty of solutions available, politicians have to fund them 25:45 The clearance rate for cases with black victims are much lower 27:30 What would it take to make Louisville's PD better? 29:00 Departments struggle to find officers in communities with low trust 31:00 Politicians weaponize public anger against police departments 32:15 High crime neighborhoods want more policing, not less 33:15 Is recruiting detectives as difficult as recruiting officers? 36:00 Is there a better role for the FBI in solving murders? 38:45 What to make of the current crime rates? 39:45 Murder rates have collapsed, but higher than peer nations 41:45 The civil rates movement created crime and upheaval 42:45 Trust is down, but crime is down… why? 44:30 German's journey to becoming a criminal justice reporter 47:30 Journalism has too many reporters on the coasts 51:00 Bengals or Reds? 53:00 Moving to the opinion section of the NYT 53:30 What does an editorial board do?58:00 Chuck's thoughts on interview with German Lopez 58:45 Ask Chuck 59:00 Why haven't Democrats pushed for DC & Puerto Rico statehood? 1:03:30 Is Bobby Kennedy the model for Democrats to emulate? 1:09:30 AOC, Gavin or Beto for Dems in 2028? 1:12:30 Would Dr. Oz be allowed to override RFK on any policies?

Interactive discussion with a live audience, featuring thought leader Wendl Kornfeld, provided an insightful and inspiring look into the challenges and solutions of “solo aging”—growing older without immediate family nearby. Hosted by the Positive Aging Community, the session brought together older adults from across the United States for a candid conversation on building support networks, fostering resilience, and finding belonging as we age.Wendl Kornfeld's personal story underscores the reality of solo aging. Married for over 40 years but without adult children and with a spouse in declining health, Kornfeld realized over a decade ago the importance of constructing a robust support team. She described how, in 2013, she began organizing small focus groups for older adults in similar circumstances. These meetings, initially held in private homes, evolved into a larger movement now known as "Community as Family." The group started with six attendees at New York's Temple Emanu-El and now boasts a mailing list of more than 80, providing both practical resources and genuine friendships.Kornfeld emphasized that community is as vital as resilience in navigating the later stages of life. Drawing from her experience and academic studies in the psychology of aging, she highlighted:Mutual Aid Philosophy: Support networks aren't one-way streets—members both give and receive help. This mutuality is central to lasting, meaningful engagement.Practical Steps: Attendees were advised to widen their social circles by forming bonds with neighbors, colleagues, and through local organizations. Volunteering, joining “third places” like libraries and community centers, and taking the initiative to organize meetups are effective ways to foster connection.Professional and Legal Preparation: Kornfeld stressed the need for all older adults to have key documents—such as health care proxies and financial power of attorney—prepared. She noted that many of these forms are available for free from local Departments of Health and don't always require legal assistance.Participants openly discussed emotional hurdles, financial constraints, physical limitations, and isolation—especially for introverts and those with disabilities. Kornfeld explained that urban, suburban, and rural environments present different opportunities and challenges but encouraged everyone to seek out what's available in their community, especially through county Departments of Aging.The discussion was rich with personal stories—of pet owners bonding over dog walks, support groups forming around shared diagnoses, and strangers becoming trusted friends and even health care proxies. Kornfeld championed the idea that if you build it, they will come, encouraging attendees to start small support groups, develop mission statements, and be proactive about community-building.Full recording and more details here

This week, Columbia University reached a $200 million settlement with the Trump administration to resolve multiple federal civil-rights investigations. The deal—which the White House characterized as the largest anti-Semitism-related settlement in U.S. history—will also release hundreds of millions of dollars in suspended federal grants that had been withheld from Columbia as the administration sought to guarantee the rights of Jewish students and faculty at an institution that has become, since October 7, a hotbed of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel activism. Since taking office, the Trump administration has acted aggressively against anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism at America's elite universities—taking aim at some of the most storied names in higher education: Harvard, Penn, Brown, Columbia. And this effort shows no signs of slowing down. What are the legal tools that the executive branch departments and agencies—especially the Departments of Justice and Education—have at their disposal to protect the rights of Jews on campus? Is there a tension between the protection of Jewish civil rights, on the one hand, and the free speech of students and the academic freedom of faculty, on the other? Last December, just before the new administration took office, Mosaic published an important essay by the lawyer Tal Fortgang, asking how the incoming Trump team could vigorously protect Jewish civil rights. Later that month, Tal joined the legal scholar David E. Bernstein of George Mason University for a conversation about his essay, which was originally made exclusively available to Mosaic subscribers. Today, as the Trump administration implements some of the very principles and strategies that Tal raised in the pages of Mosaic, we are pleased to share that discussion with you.

The National Enterprise Hub has attracted over 220,000 active online users to its website over the last 12 months and also offers a full-time dedicated phone line, connecting business owners with specialist advisors who can discuss potential grant options over the phone. The National Enterprise Hub, an initiative of the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment and Enterprise Ireland, brings together information and resources on over 250 Government supports from 30 different Departments and State Agencies. Looking ahead, there will be a continued and renewed focus on simplifying business grant applications for SMEs engaging with the National Enterprise Hub. The businesses are from a range of industries however the majority fall within Tourism & Hospitality, retail & consumer products, food, health & beauty, professional services and the construction sector. This free service makes it easier and more efficient for businesses to access and avail of supports such as grants, funding, loans and expert advice across a range of sectors. Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Peter Burke, said, "With over 6,500 companies engaging in its first 12 months, the National Enterprise Hub has proven effective in streamlining and simplifying access for SMEs to government supports, equipping them with vital digital and sustainability resources to navigate rising costs and stay competitive. Research from my Department shows that four in five businesses believe sustainability is important. An awareness campaign is currently underway showcasing how the NEH can support businesses in cutting costs through grants such as the LEO's Energy Efficiency Grant and SEAI's Business Energy Upgrade Scheme. My focus now with the NEH is on reducing administrative burdens and red tape for businesses by consolidating multiple grant applications into a single, simplified process. We must redouble our efforts to simplify processes for businesses and make sure that we think about small businesses first. I look forward to its continued growth and positive impact on Irish SMEs." Conor O'Donovan, Head of Start-Ups and the National Enterprise Hub, said: "SME engagement with the National Enterprise Hub has met and exceeded our targets to date, supporting 6,500 businesses within our first year of operation. One of the main aims of the Hub was to engage with businesses who haven't availed of government supports to date and to make the process of availing of government supports faster and easier." "We know that Irish SMEs are operating in a complex environment and being able to access grants and supports is more important than ever. Small businesses who are engaging with the National Enterprise Hub are concerned about rising cost of business and competitiveness - that is why a single source of government supports for businesses is important to ensure that accessing the right information is made easier. The National Enterprise Hub has a team of dedicated advisors who are directing SMEs to the right support that will help them. It's for every business in the country and we'd encourage every business to go online to neh.gov.ie or pick up the phone and start the conversation around your business needs today." Audrey Hughes, CEO of Principle HR, said: "Like so many Irish SMEs, we are focused on providing the highest quality of service delivery to our customers, while remaining competitive. Accessing government supports to assist can feel daunting but the National Enterprise Hub made the process so much easier by putting us in contact with the right agency whose support and expertise fitted our n...

Let us know!The CopDoc Podcast - Season 8 - Episode 156 Chief Jim McDonald's journey in law enforcement reads like a masterclass in adaptive leadership. From his bold decision to leave Boston for Los Angeles with just $400 and two suitcases to his current role leading one of America's largest police departments, McDonald exemplifies how stepping beyond comfort zones catalyzes professional growth.The conversation reveals McDonald's approach to leadership transitions across three major departments – LAPD, Long Beach PD, and LA Sheriff's Department – before returning to lead LAPD. Rather than imposing previous methods, he entered each organization with respect for existing traditions while bringing fresh perspectives. "I did make some changes but tried to be respectful of the organization and its history," he notes, demonstrating how balancing innovation with cultural awareness builds effective leadership.McDonald's candid assessment of modern policing challenges is particularly compelling. While facing critical staffing shortages (1,400 officers below authorized strength), unprecedented natural disasters, and civil unrest, his department still achieved a 30% reduction in homicides. This success stems from his commitment to both operational excellence and human connection – listening more than talking, valuing diverse perspectives, and ensuring officers have proper wellness support.Perhaps most thought-provoking is McDonald's reflection on how the profession has evolved. Today's officers must navigate increasingly complex social dynamics, particularly mental health crises, while maintaining tactical readiness. "We need someone who can be compassionate with a traumatized child, then rush into a school to stop an active shooter," he explains, highlighting the multidimensional skills modern officers require.As LAPD prepares for world-stage events including the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Olympics, McDonald's experience across multiple departments provides unique insights into building cooperative security frameworks. His optimism about policing's future, grounded in admiration for incoming officers' innovative perspectives, offers hope for a profession facing unprecedented challenges.Discover why McDonald believes getting uncomfortable is essential for professional growth and how his seasoned leadership is reshaping LAPD for 21st century challenges. His journey proves that sometimes the most valuable career moves are the ones you initially resist.Blog PostContact us: copdoc.podcast@gmail.com Website: www.copdocpodcast.comIf you'd like to arrange for facilitated training, or consulting, or talk about steps you might take to improve your leadership and help in your quest for promotion, contact Steve at stephen.morreale@gmail.com

A global economic crisis is dragging down sales.Departments are working in silos and leaders at all levels are arguing about priorities. Managers are too busy to coach their teams.You might think this describes your organization today—and it was the exact situation Toyota faced nearly 50 years ago.This challenge sparked one of the most ambitious and influential—and least known outside Japan—leadership development programs in Toyota's history: the Kanri Nouryoku Program, or Kan-Pro for short. “Kanri” meaning management, and “Nouryoku” meaning capability.Kan-Pro helped establish the people-centered learning culture Toyota is famous for today and embedded A3 thinking as a foundational process for problem-solving, communication, and leadership development.I invited Isao Yoshino—a 40-year Toyota leader who was one of the key team members who helped create and lead the program—to share his experience in two pivotal moments in Toyota's evolution and how he learned to lead cultural leadership transformation from a place of influence, not authority. Join me and Mr. Yoshino—also the subject of my Shingo-award winning book Learning to Lead, Leading to Learn — as we celebrate its 5-year anniversary this month!YOU'LL LEARN:The problem Toyota was trying to solve—and how Kan-Pro emerged as the countermeasureThe leadership styles of Masao Nemoto vs. Taiichi Ohno—and how both shaped Toyota's culture through the development of Toyota Way management culture and the Toyota Production System How Mr. Yoshino learned to coach and develop more senior executives as a mid-level internal change leaderThe process that established A3 thinking as the standard for leadership development, communication, and problem-solving across ToyotaCritical leadership behaviors that led to Toyota's success—which have come to be known as “lean management”Stay tuned for Episode 50 where Mr. Yoshino shares his major assignment to “change the culture”—how he and his team, including Lean Global Network Chairman John Shook, led the training and transformation of frontline American leaders at NUMMI, the GM–Toyota joint venture in the 1980s.ABOUT MY GUEST:Isao Yoshino, worked at Toyota Motor Corporation for over 40 years—from the late 1960s to the early 2000s—and played an important role in the development of Toyota's people-centered learning culture it's now famous for. He was a key part of Kan-Pro senior leadership development program, which embedded A3 thinking as the process for problem-solving, communication, and leadership development across the organization—and has deep expertise in the practice of hoshin-kanri—Toyota's strategy deployment process.IMPORTANT LINKS:Full episode show notes: ChainOfLearning.com/47My website with resources and ways to work with me KBJAnderson.comFollow me on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kbjandersonDownload my free KATALYST™ Change Leader Self-Assessment: KBJAnderson.com/katalyst Learn more about the Japan Leadership Experience: kbjanderson.com/japantrip My book featuring lessons from Isao Yoshino's 40 years of Toyota Leadership: LearningToLeadLeadingToLearn.comTIMESTAMPS FOR THIS EPISODE:03:51 The leadership shift behind the Toyota Way towards a people centered approach06:03 How Taiichi Ohno shaped the Toyota Production System and Masao Nemoto shaped Toyota Way style leadership07:41 Closing Toyota's leadership gap and how Kan-Pro emerged as a countermeasure12:41 Why committed top-down leadership ownership is essential to creating organizational culture14:46 How seriousness and patience sets Toyota apart15:17 Why Toyota created Kan-Pro to 're-tighten the belt' on leadership capabilities and why they need to refocus on leadership capabilities every generation18:55 The leader's role in setting direction and providing support to their people 20:40 The mindset shift in top management to not to fake it21:17 Mr. Yoshino's experience coaching senior leaders through hands-on A3 learning25:38 Key influence skills Mr. Yoshino learned from great Toyota managers28:12 The importance of respect by senior leaders even when there's resistance to change28:58 Being a Yes-Minded Persuader – a key KATALYST™ Chang Leader competency –  in bringing leaders along in change 31:25 Lessons from coaching senior leaders using A3 thinking during Kan-Pro35:45 The positive shift when leaders prepare the A3 themselves37:48 Importance of handwritten A3s to senior executives41:13 The significance of a leader stamping their hanko on an A3 document43:35 Why an A3 at Toyota is different compared to most companies45:16 Mr. Yoshino's highlights in participating in Katie's Japan Leadership Experience lean management tours 48:29 Leading change involves empathy, patience, and helping others change themselves48:50 Questions to reflect on as a change agent in your organization Apply for the Nov 2025 Japan Leadership Experience https://kbjanderson.com/japantrip/

He's also the author of books like Religion Explained; Memory, Mind and Culture; and Minds Make Societies. In this episode, we start by talking about religions “in the wild”, and how they relate to the study of misfortune. We ask whether religious beliefs differ from other kinds of beliefs. We talk about ritualized behavior, and the study of OCD and anxiety. We discuss ownership psychology, and how we can understand the abolition of slavery and the phenomenon of “cultural appropriation”.
