Adina's current per shift staffing falls below 10 per shift. National standards indicate 16 are needed for a 2,000 square foot house fire.

Ralph Zickert

The DOJ's findings prove otherwise. Incumbent council members will face serious credibility issues in any re-election campaign.

In a study from the Edina Transportation Commission, they estimated that with the current levels of funding, it would take another 40 to 45 years to complete that network.
