Costco Wholesale on Tuesday won unanimous permission from the Eden Prairie City Council to nearly double the number of pumps at its gas station along Technology Drive. Costco is proposing to add seven pumps – each pump serving two customers at a time – to a members-only station that currently has eight pumps and has been known to generate waiting lines. The business would also enlarge the canopy above the pumps, build a brick structure for staff…

First – Kudos for a well-organized and useful voter guide! Second – The articles “EP prepares for a Nov. 5 election” on page 1 and “Illegal voting by noncitizens is rare, yet still an issue” on page 23 should both start on the front page. It seems you’re burying the key point in the first paragraph: “Only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote in this fall’s election for president and other top offices.” That fact should also have been included in y…

A pair of recent court decisions make it more likely that a watershed district’s purchase of 28 acres in southern Eden Prairie will stand. The Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District was sued by Larry Koch, then one of the district’s county-appointed managers, after the board of managers voted 4-1 in November 2023 to purchase 28 acres along Spring Road for $5.775 million to preserve the land and protect it from development. Koch, the lone…

I want to thank the League of Women Voters (LWV) for recent candidate forums in Eden Prairie and Minnetonka. Candidate forums let us see candidates in non-controversial settings. These were calm, civil, with clear structure and no arguments. Candidates get identical questions from the LWV team.  I do wish there could have been fact-checking. For example, a GOP candidate in District 49 asked where refunds were from the recent surplus. Now, I had …

I am voting for Kelly Morrison because women’s health, wellness, and bodily autonomy are under attack. There are several strong, amazing women in Congress now, but none who are a pro-choice OB-GYN. Kelly Morrison is not a career politician. She is an OB-GYN with over 20 years of practice in the field. Kelly first served as my Minnesota state representative in 2019 and, more recently, has been my Minnesota state senator. In both roles, she has be…

The tax cut policies of the Republican challengers in Senate District 49A (Stacy Bettison) and 49B (Wendi Russo) promise a return to the multi-billion dollar budget deficits of the Republican Tim Pawlenty administration, which hurt public education and left many Minnesotans without health insurance.  They offer tax cuts but no plan for how to pay for it. It is a time warp back to the Republican Tim Pawlenty years, where taxes were cut and budget…
