On June 6, 2022, after a year of public meetings and feedback, the Bloomington City Council unanimously approved an ordinance that will require employers in the city to provide paid.
The ordinance is different from many existing paid time off PTO or sick leave policies in that it applies to both part-time and full-time employees, so long as an employee works at least eighty hours per year in Bloomington.

Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - A former Rochester police officer who was charged with domestic assault last year is no longer facing prosecution.
Court records show 34-year-old Jamar Meeks was charged in October with two counts of domestic assault and one count of disorderly conduct.
The criminal complaint indicates the incident involved a woman Meeks had an earlier relationship with. The complaint says the two got into an argument over their two children on Oct. 8th. Meeks was arrested and arraigned the next day.
