Tom Homan, in speaking earlier this week about the end of Operation Metro Surge, spoke of agreements made with local and state leaders that allowed the drawdown to happen. We're not hearing the same thing from local leaders, including Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt, who said today that nothing changed. Chad opens the show with a conversation about that disconnect and what we should believe.

Speakers detail how years of underfunding have created backlogs, deferred maintenance, and increased fiscal pressures on local budgets, and most importantly, why falling off the FY28 funding cliff would make those challenges worse. Listen for a full breakdown of the local perspective and why SB 288 is a critical step toward restoring balance in the State–local transportation partnership.Follow us on Socials!MACo on TwitterMACo on Facebook

In episode 246 of America Adapts, host Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Shiran Victoria Shen, assistant professor at Washington University in St. Louis, for a closer look at how climate adaptation actually emerges in China. Drawing on her research after the devastating 2021 Henan flood, Shen shows how public demand for adaptation surged—not through climate change language, but through calls for safety, infrastructure, and risk reduction, often using formal government channels. The conversation highlights adaptation as a lived governance issue rather than an ideological one, and surfaces practical lessons about public participation, the limits of top-down approaches, and what governments everywhere tend to respond to when climate risk becomes impossible to ignore.   Transcript of interview here.  Key Themes Covered in This Episode  How public demand for climate adaptation emerges after extreme disasters Why people often ask for adaptation without using "climate change" language The 2021 Henan flood as a national turning point for adaptation awareness in China Public participation and formal governance channels, including the Local Leaders' Message Board Differences between adaptation and mitigation from a governance perspective The limits of top-down adaptation and where citizen influence realistically ends What adaptation in China reveals about public engagement globally Lessons for policymakers, planners, and communicators working outside the U.S. Links & Resources from This Episode Shiran Victoria Shen – Faculty Page (Washington University in St. Louis) The 2021 Henan flood increased citizen demand for government-led climate change adaptation in China Shiran Victoria Shen – Research & Publications Dialogue Earth article: How the Chinese public is engaging in climate adaptation China's National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (latest version) Background on the 2021 Henan Flood For Educators & Students This episode is well-suited for courses on climate adaptation, environmental governance, public policy, or comparative politics.

The civilian killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Macklin Good by federal immigration agents have launched a larger debate in Washington about funding for the Department of Homeland Security.Senate Democrats want to carve off DHS money from the broader spending package to keep the government open, and they want new limits on immigration agents, like a prohibition on masks and a requirement that officers carry ID. Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin says he blames the actions of state and local leaders for the shooting deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Macklin Good. He insists local leaders should have done more to cooperate with immigration enforcement efforts in Minneapolis.NPR's Ailsa Chang spoke with Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron Johnson to discuss his thoughts on whether ICE, and other immigration enforcement agencies, need the reforms Democrats have asked for.At the time this episode aired, lawmakers were at an impasse regarding the federal spending package. But Senate Democrats now say they've reached a deal to separate DHS funding from the other five appropriations bills.

As the holiday season sweeps through the Valley, host of The Valley Today, Janet Michael invites listeners to step into the warmth of community traditions in a special episode. This festive conversation, woven from interviews with local leaders, business owners, and community members, offers a delightful tapestry of Christmas customs, heartfelt memories, and a few friendly debates. The Great Tree Debate: Real or Artificial? The episode opens with a question that sparks instant nostalgia: Are you a real Christmas tree person or do you prefer artificial? Krista Shifflett of the Warren Coalition confesses her lifelong love for real trees, though practicality has recently nudged her toward artificial options. Similarly, Celeste Brooks shares that allergies in her family have made artificial trees a necessity, while others, like Les Sinclair of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, opt for convenience over tradition. The conversation reveals that, for many, the choice between real and artificial is shaped by family needs, safety, and even the presence of pets. Decking the Halls: Timing and Traditions Transitioning from tree types to timing, Janet asks her guests when they put up and take down their decorations. Some, like Robyn Miller of WATTS, stick to the classic post-Thanksgiving setup, while others, such as Victoria Armstrong Kidd of the Hideaway Cafe, admit to keeping their trees up well into February. The reasons vary—busy schedules, a love for the festive glow, or simply not wanting to let go of the season's magic. Gift-Giving Rituals: Wrapping, Bagging, and the Art of Shopping No holiday conversation is complete without discussing gifts. The guests reveal a spectrum of shopping habits, from early planners who finish by Thanksgiving to last-minute dashers picking up presents on Christmas Eve. The art of wrapping also comes under the spotlight, with some guests proudly identifying as "wrappers" who cherish the ritual, while others embrace the practicality of gift bags—especially when time is short or the recipient is a pet with a penchant for unwrapping. Christmas Eve vs. Christmas Morning: When to Open Gifts? Another beloved tradition—when to open gifts—elicits a variety of responses. Some families uphold the anticipation of Christmas morning, while others allow a sneak peek on Christmas Eve, often in the form of a single present or a special family ritual. These small differences highlight the unique ways each household creates its own holiday magic. A Patchwork of Community Spirit Throughout the episode, Janet's guests share more than just their traditions; they offer a glimpse into the values that bind the Valley community. Whether it's the joy of decorating multiple trees, the chaos of wrapping gifts at the last minute, or the comfort of gathering with loved ones, these stories remind us that the heart of the holidays lies in togetherness and shared memories. Conclusion: Celebrating What Matters Most As the conversation draws to a close, Janet encourages listeners to reflect on their own traditions and perhaps borrow a few new ideas from her guests. In a season often marked by hustle and bustle, this episode serves as a gentle reminder to savor the moments, embrace the quirks, and celebrate the connections that make the holidays truly special in the Valley.
