    Carver County Sherriff Jason Kamerud talks policing in MN in 2024

    Policing has changed radically over the past several years. Bad policing makes the news and affects public opinion, making a hard job, even harder to do and a challenge to recruit new officers. Given the fact that the Carver County Sheriff's Department are responsible for policing everywhere in Carver County except Chaska, we thought an update from Carver County Sherriff Jason Kamerud was due. Jason is a lifelong Carver County resident and is fully invested in the community. He talks about recent challenges and the proactive way the department is addressing those issues. As our area continues to grow, the spotlight will get even brighter. Innovations and strategic thinking will make all the difference. We hope you enjoy this fast paced conversations with Sherriff Jason Kamerud. (This episode was recorded before the Burnsville shootings. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by this terrible and senseless tragedy)

    Chaska City Manager Matt Podhradsky talks about the massive changes in Chaska during the past 12 months

    Chaska City Manager Matt Podhradsky discusses the recent improvements to Hwy 41 and the impact to local businesses including Cooper's Grocery Store. We discuss the role and limitations cities have in determining which specific businesses come into the city. We also discuss some of the background story on the old Oakridge Conference site (aka; Costco site) and what is in store for Chaska going forward with respect to municipal building plans. Matt has been a guest several times because we talk about things that most residents only have a partial back story about and thus many misconceptions occur. Matt is a friend and community advocate so please enjoy this comprehensive conversation.
