If you haven't been to Carver in the past year or so, you will be blown away with the construction, both commercial and residential. We have Carver Mayor Courtney Johnson here to discuss all the new development, the city's plan to address the coming needs that go along with this growth. Courtney is committed to managing these changes with transparency and citizen involvement. We also talk about what has her excited as well as things she like to see changed. She is a wonderful guest and we were delighted to have her back for a 3rd time.

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 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.

Did you know the worldwide headquarters of a faith organization is located here in Eastern Carver County? The Eckankar Temple is that huge piece of land located at Hwy 5 and Powers Blvd in Chanhassen. What is it? What do they believe? I sit down with staffers David Maloney and Heather Davari for a discussion about the history, beliefs and practices of followers of Eck. I invite you to listen with an open mind to understand the organization, not to convert anyone but to gain a better understanding of a neighbor.
