Happy Halloween to all of our amazing listeners! For the first time in nearly a month, the whole crew is together in the studio, and it felt great! On today's episode, Jacob, Colton and Isaiah talk about some Halloween happenings in the BLA, some of the top costumes they've already seen this year, and some of their best Halloween moments throughout their lives. Also, one of the main discussion points on today's show is the Baxter Bypass dilema. We would like to mention, while Colton does give a great breakdown of his understanding of the proposed project, we by no means have had any talks with the State, City or anyone from MNDOT. Colton is just relaying what the latest plan that has been shared is. So, tune in to hear how you can (potentially) make a difference at next week's Baxter City Hall meeting. Along with all of that discussion, yes, another week of a bit of football talk on today's show, but a lot of the same... Vikings are Bad, Pequot Patriots are good and so on... LAST BUT NOT LEAST...

We talk about the "up is down, black is white" analysis MnDOT is using (Urban interstate removal causes more air and noise pollution? Urban interstate removal is more dangerous for people biking, walking, and driving? What?). A recent former commissioner of MnDOT characterized the construction of I-94 this way: “we would never, we could never, build that kind of atrocity today." The historic harms, the racist effect and intent, the ongoing pollution, health and economic impact to people who had no say over I-94's construction or its imminent reconstruction, the flaws in MnDOT's analysis -- are well documented. So how come removal doesn't make the cut for further study?
