[♪♪♪] >> Dennis: HI EVERYONE, THANKS FOR WATCHING TONIGHT.

>>> THE CITY OF NISSWA CONTINUED THEIR DISCUSSION INTO THE PUBLIC CONDUCT OF MAYOR JENNIFER CARNAHAN AT VARIOUS CITY MEETINGS TODAY.

THE COUNCIL ULTIMATELY VOTED TO REMOVE MAYOR CARNAHAN FROM HER POSTS ON VARIOUS COMMITTEES WITHIN THE CITY.

THE COUNCIL ALSO PASSED A RESOLUTION, WITH THE MAYOR HERSELF MAKING THE MOTION TO DO SO, SAYING THAT THE BOARD HAD NO CONFIDENCE IN THE MAYOR'S ABILITY TO GOVERN.

HOWEVER CARNAHAN SAYS SHE'S READY TO PUT IT ALL BEHIND HER AND CONTINUE TO SERVE THE CITY OF NISSWA AS MAYOR.

>> I THINK EVERYBODY, WHEN WE TURN THE CORNER INTO THE NEW YEAR, WAS HAPPY TO LEAVE THE PAST IN THE PAST.

I HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE EVERY DAY, THEY'RE PROUD TO HAVE ME AS THEIR MAYOR AND I'M PROUD AND HONORED TO SERVE AND WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE CITY IN 2026, MOVING THE BUSINESS OF NISSWA FORWARD AND FOCUSING ON FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES, AND I AM HERE TO STAY AND I AM VERY EXCITED FOR IT.

>> ACCORDING TO CITY OFFICIALS, NO FURTHER ACTION IS EXPECTED TO COME AGAINST THE MAYOR.

>>> THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS SUBPOENAED SEVERAL OFFICIALS IN MINNESOTA.

THE LIST INCLUDES MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR JACOB FREY, MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ AND MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL KEITH ELLISON.

IT'S RELATED TO A PLANNED CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OF STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS AND THEIR POSSIBLE OBSTRUCTION OF FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.

FREY AND WALZ HAVE SPOKEN OUT AGAINST IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT AGENTS IN THEIR STATE AND AFTER THE FATAL SHOOTING OF RENEE GOOD BY AN ICE OFFICER.

>> WHAT YOU SEE FROM THE MAYOR AND THE GOVERNOR IS A SOLID CALM RESPONSE SAYING WE'RE FOCUSED ON KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY SAFE, WE'RE FOCUSED ON STANDING UP FOR MINNESOTA VALUES, AND THAT IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE FOCUSED.

I APPLAUD THAT.

I MEAN PEOPLE COMING OUT OF THEIR HOMES TO STAND UP FOR FOLKS THAT ARE LITERALLY BEING DRUG OUT OF THEIR CARS, IT'S INCREDIBLE TO SEE THAT.

IT MAKES ME REALLY PROUD.

>> WE'VE BEEN TO MANY CITIES, WE HAVE BEEN TO LOS ANGELES, CHICAGO, CHARLOTTE, NEW ORLEANS, AND NOW OBVIOUSLY MINNEAPOLIS.

SO, WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IS A BIT DIFFERENT HERE, THE ORGANIZATION OF SOME OF THE GROUPS.

THE GROUPS ARE BETTER ORGANIZED.

THEY HAVE EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION.

THAT COUPLED WITH A POOR RESPONSE FROM THE MAYOR AND THE GOVERNOR, IT'S THAT COLLUSION AND CORRUPTION BETWEEN ELECTED OFFICIALS AND THESE AN ARKIST THAT ARE INTENT ON CREATING VIOLENCE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

>> MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL ELLISON SAID IN A STATEMENT SAID THE D.O.J.

WANTS RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS RELATING TO HIS OFFICE'S WORK REGARDING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.

IT DOES NOT RELATE TO HIM PERSONALLY, HE SAID.

CNN HAS REVIEWED A COPY OF THE SUBPOENA MAYOR FREY'S OFFICE RECEIVED.

AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE GOVERNMENT WANTS DOCUMENTS RELATING TO ANY DISCUSSIONS FREY'S OFFICE MAY HAVE HAD WITH CITY, COUNTY, AND STATE LEADERS REGARDING IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.

>>> THE BRAINERD CITY COUNCIL IS LOOKING TO UPDATE THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR JAMES KRAMVIK TOUCHED ON HOW THE CITY UPDATE ITS PLAN EVERY 5 YEARS MOVING FORWARD DURING A CITY COUNCIL MEETING EARLIER THIS MONTH.

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A LEADING POLICY TOOL THAT PROVIDES A SERIES OF STEPS TO HELP ACHIEVE A SHARED COMMUNITY VISION.

CITY STAFF PROPOSED THAT THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE UPDATE SHOULD BE TO INCREASE THE THRESHOLD AT WHICH A MANDATORY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WORKSHEET IS REQUIRED.

THE PLAN HASN'T BEEN UPDATED SINCE 2019, BARRING A COUNCIL-APPROVED AMENDMENT TO THE CITY MAP IN 2022.

>> ONE OF THE PRIMARY GOALS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION WANTS TO SEE IS REALLY TAKING A LOOK AT OUR IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO ARE WE MEETING OUR OBJECTIVES?

THAT IS LACKING IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

>> THE UPDATED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WILL BE REVIEWED AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING IN MARCH.

>>> THERE WILL BE A NEW CLEARWATER COUNTY SHERIFF NEXT YEAR.

DARIN HALVERSON, WHO HAS SERVED IN THAT ROLE FOR THE PAST ELEVEN YEARS, HAS ANNOUNCED HE WILL NOT SEEK A FOURTH TERM THIS FALL.

HALVERSON HAS SPENT 34 YEARS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND WAS THE BAGLEY POLICE CHIEF PRIOR TO BECOMING THE CLEARWATER COUNTY SHERIFF.

HALVERSON SAID IN A SOCIAL MEDIA POST THAT THE DECISION WAS NOT EASY BUT WAS MADE AFTER CAREFUL REFLECTION AND THOUGHTFUL DISCUSSIONS WITH HIS FAMILY.

HALVERSON SAYS HE WAS FORTUNATE TO FOLLOW OUTSTANDING SHERIFFS AND BUILD UPON A STRONG FOUNDATION AND IS PROUD TO HAVE IMPLEMENTED NUMEROUS UPGRADES AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE ENHANCED EFFICIENCY, TRANSPARENCY, OFFICER SAFETY, COMMUNICATION, AND THE SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION OF CRIMINAL CASES, WHILE STRENGTHENING THE OVERALL SAFETY AND SECURITY OF AREA CITIZENS.

>>> MID TERM ELECTIONS WILL HAPPEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY THIS NOVEMBER AS PEOPLE VOTE IN STATE AND LOCAL RACES, REPORTER DANIEL PURSELL MET WITH SOME OF THE CANDIDATES WHO WILL HAVE THEIR NAMES ON THE BALLOT LATER THIS YEAR, HERE HE IS WITH MORE.

>> Reporter: A TOWN HALL WAS HELD LAST NIGHT IN CROSBY FOR CROW WING COUNTY RESIDENTS TO HEAR FROM DFL CANDIDATES THAT ARE RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

>> THIS AREA HAS BEEN NEGLECTED FOR SO LONG SO PEOPLE WANT TO BE HEARD.

I CAME OUT TO SUPPORT THEM.

IT'S TIME THAT WE THE PEOPLE ARE REPRESENTED DOWN IN ST.

PAUL AND THE FOLKS AROUND HERE SEEM TO AGREE WITH THAT.

>> Reporter: THE CANDIDATES ARE RUNNING FOR A WIDE RANGE OF RACES, FROM STATE AUDITOR, TO STATE SENATE SEATS, BUT THEY HAD THE SAME GOAL OF LISTENING TO THE ISSUES OF THEIR PERSPECTIVE CONSTITUENTS.

>> WE NEED TO PUT THE PARTY POLITICS ASIDE AND COMMUNICATE WITH SOME SORT OF RESPECT.

I THINK BEING MINDFUL OF THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE ACTING BASED ON THEIR EXPERIENCES, AND WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES THAT LED US TO BE THE PERSON WE ARE TODAY.

>> Reporter: AUDIENCE MEMBERS RAISED CONCERNS, WITH TOPICS RAING FROM HEALTH CARE TO EDUCATION.

>> ANOTHER REASON WHY THESE COMMUNITY EVENTS ARE SO IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE YOU CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THE NUANCE ISSUES.

TAKE FRAUD FOR EXAMPLE, THESE GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS THAT MINNESOTA, THE LEGISLATIVE AUDITOR IN MINNESOTA HAS FOUND THIS FRAUD, CAUGHT IT, AND WE'RE PROSECUTING FOR THAT FRAUD.

THE STATE AUDITOR, THE POSITION I'M RUNNING FOR FOCUSES ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

YOUR COUNTIES, YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS, MAKING SURE THAT THOSE COMMUNITIES STAY FREE OF FRAUD.

>> Reporter: OF ALL THE QUESTIONS ASKED, A SIMILAR THEME SHOWN THROUGH, BRINGING COMMUNITIES CLOSER TOGETHER.

>> YOU GO TO THE MINNESOTA CASINOS, RIGHT?

YOU SIT NEXT TO PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW.

NO ONE IS POOR OR RICH, IT'S JUST A FRIEND PLAYING A GAME.

MINNESOTANS, THEY'RE ALL ABOUT COMMUNITY.

WE'RE IN THIS NEGATIVE TEMPERATURE AND WE'RE HAVING FUN.

WE CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER.

>> Reporter: REPORTING IN CROSBY, I'M DANIEL PURSELL, LAKELAND NEWS.
