• Plymouth Ends Flock Camera Program as Privacy Concerns Overcome Police-Safety Arguments (town.news) — Plymouth has voted to shut down all 16 Flock license-plate cameras, with council members citing worries about outside access to residents' data despite police saying the system helped solve crimes. The move aligns Plymouth with other Minnesota communities rethinking automated plate readers and adds pressure for statewide rules on how such surveillance tools can be used and shared.
• Plymouth sets 2027 preliminary levy at 3.9% (hometownsource.com) — Plymouth residents face a 3.9% preliminary levy increase for 2027, a smaller hike than this year's 7.1% jump, adding about $102 for the median homeowner. City leaders say the lower rate reflects careful budgeting while still funding staffing, capital needs, and big projects like the community center and fire station, amid concerns about affordability and other rising taxes.
• How tax policy can stop threat actors from breaching US water systems (cyberscoop.com) — Plymouth is named among Minnesota communities whose water systems have been probed by state-backed cyberthreats, highlighting how underfunded local utilities struggle to afford proper digital defenses. The commentary argues that federal tax policy should explicitly support cybersecurity software and infrastructure, giving cities like Plymouth better tools to protect critical water and utility systems from increasingly sophisticated attacks.
