Inside how Kirk Cousins is leading the Vikings at training camp

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:42:13 GMT

A couple of days after the Vikings reported to TCO Performance Center for training camp last week, with everyone searching for ways to build off last season, quarterback Kirk Cousins stood up and took center stage.Not a fan of the spotlight, Cousins had already gone over some of his options with head coach Kevin O’Connell.

Redistricting adds surprises to St. Paul City Council races

Some city and county officials have openly acknowledged that Repke — who could alternately engross and infuriate politicos with his eagle-eyed knowledge of procedural minutiae — had a bead on redistricting like few others in St. Paul civic circles.In addition, a process that a decade ago played out over the course of months was truncated into just four weeks in February and March 2022, blamed at the time on delays in getting updated Census data from the federal government and then the state.Council President Amy Brendmoen has spent nearly 12 years representing Ward 5, which spans much of the North End and Como neighborhood.
