📰 News we're reading

• Plymouth and other Minnesota cities drop Flock cameras (newsbreak.com) — Plymouth leaders have ended the city's contract with Flock Safety license plate cameras after residents raised sharp privacy concerns about who can access their driving data. The move puts Plymouth at the center of a growing Minnesota debate over automated plate readers, data sharing with other agencies, and how far cities should go in trading surveillance for crime-fighting tools.
   

• Maple Grove approves 6.18% preliminary tax levy for 2027 (hometownsource.com) — Maple Grove has set a preliminary 2027 tax levy increase of 6.18%, while nearby Plymouth is currently proposing a smaller increase of under 4% for next year. For Plymouth homeowners, that means your city's projected levy hike is below the average of comparable suburbs, even as communities across the metro adjust budgets for new staff and rising service costs.
