Minneapolis Audit Committee Approves Review of $11 Million in City Funding to Public Housing Authority

Minneapolis Audit Committee Approves Review of $11 Million in City Funding to Public Housing Authority

The Minneapolis Audit Committee has approved a request from City Council members to audit the spending of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA). This decision comes amidst growing concerns regarding the conditions at Heritage Park, a public housing complex. City Council Member Pearll Warren initiated the request, citing what she described as uninhabitable conditions at Heritage Park. The audit will specifically examine how the MPHA is spending $11 million received from the City of Minneapolis this year. While the MPHA receives the majority of its funding (nearly 95%) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the $11 million from the city supports various programs, including the Stable Homes Stable Schools program and an Emergency Housing Voucher pilot program. An MPHA spokesperson clarified that the audit's scope does not primarily include their work at Heritage Park, as none of the $11 million was initially designated for the complex, though a small portion of a 2026 housi...

Congressman Rick W. Allen Honors Washington County Students with Congressional Award Gold Medal

Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) recently visited Brentwood School in Sandersville, Georgia, to present the Congressional Award Gold Medal to three students from the 12th District. This award is the highest honor Congress bestows upon America's youth. The recipients, Kessler Ann Bibb, McFerrin Dean Bibb, and Mary Thomas Smith, were recognized for their significant achievements. The Congressional Award program, established by Congress in 1979, aims to acknowledge initiative, service, and achievement in young people aged 14 to 24. To earn the Gold Medal, students must dedicate years to completing goals across four key areas: voluntary public service, personal development, physical fitness, and expedition/exploration. Congressman Allen noted that these three students were among only 19 young Georgians in the 2026 Gold Medal Class, having logged hundreds of hours in these activities over nearly three years. Kessler and McFerrin Bibb received their medals in person, while Mary Thomas Smith, currently attending...

New Haven Alders Oppose Convenience Store Reopening Bid Due to Owner's Heroin Trafficking History

New Haven Alders Oppose Convenience Store Reopening Bid Due to Owner's Heroin Trafficking History

Nadyar Malaka and Xiomara Tapia Rivera are attempting to reopen Ninos Market at a new location on Ferry Street in New Haven, Connecticut, facing strong opposition from Fair Haven alders. This marks their second attempt after their initial application was rejected by the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) in June. Alder Frank Redente has formally requested another public hearing, citing new and material information regarding neighborhood safety and the applicant's conduct. Malaka, who purchased the building for the new store, was convicted in 2021 for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin, receiving a four-year prison sentence. He was arrested in 2020 for his involvement in selling heroin from two Bridgeport convenience stores. Neighborhood leaders and police have previously identified the original Ninos Market location as a hotspot for drug dealing and violence, with police district manager Chris Alvarado stating that the area felt significantly safer after its closure.
