📰 News we're reading

• Proposed levy hike provokes reactions in Burnsville (hometownsource.com) — Burnsville officials are weighing a proposed 7.69% city levy increase for 2027 that could raise taxes about $180 on a median-value home, largely to fund police, fire, and rising benefit costs. Council members are split over whether the city is catching up on past underfunding or pushing unsustainably high hikes, with a Sept. 22 vote to set the maximum levy and final adoption in December.
   

• Why Denny's Closed Five Minnesota Locations Suddenly (krforadio.com) — One of the five Denny's restaurants abruptly closed in Minnesota this month is the location at 12950 Aldrich Ave S in Burnsville, where employees reportedly received only a day's notice. The parent company cited heavy debt and insufficient cash to keep operating. Burnsville diners now have one less 24-hour option, and affected workers are being directed toward unemployment benefits instead of transfers.
