📰 News we're reading

• Roseville advances $77M civic campus project (finance-commerce.com) — Roseville is moving ahead with a $77 million civic campus that will overhaul city maintenance facilities and add a new license/passport center and dance studio near Veterans Park, with construction starting in 2027. The multiphase project replaces aging 1950s-era buildings, upgrades recreation spaces including ballfields and playgrounds, and may incorporate sustainability and bird-safe design features that could affect how residents access services and enjoy nearby parks for decades.
   

• Serial burglar charged in crime spree across St. Paul (kstp.com) — Residents in Roseville may recognize the name Aaron Million, the 23-year-old previously tied to dozens of local home break-ins who is now charged in a new 30-hour burglary and auto-theft spree across St. Paul. Authorities describe how Ramsey County's CAT team tracked and arrested him after multiple occupied-home burglaries, a stolen SUV chase through Minneapolis, and an escape from a treatment facility where he'd awaited sentencing for Roseville-area crimes.
   

• Meta glasses captured and shared intimate images without users' consent, lawsuit claims (thederrick.com) — If you've tried Meta's AI glasses at the Roseville Best Buy Meta Lab, you're part of the only in-person Meta demo site in Minnesota now tied indirectly to growing privacy concerns. A new class-action lawsuit alleges the glasses captured intimate moments and sent video to overseas contractors, raising questions about how footage from devices like those on display in Roseville is reviewed and used to train Meta's AI.
