Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota’s Post

2nd attempt to post. Though at DEA they are not so proud to highlight their shortcomings that they have no issue hiding from taxpayers. They removed my previous posts which simply expresses DEA's willingness to hide their incompetence and disabled comments on the appropriate post. If this firm put out the truth and numbers of how many things they had to redo on this Highway 20 Safety Upgrade between Corvallis and Albany OR taxpayers would have something to say about this firm’s laughable ranking. How about it DEA, put out an itemized list of everything that had to be done two or three times because it wasn’t done right in the first place and how much taxpayers money was wasted in the process. In my driveway alone they had to do multiple things more than once. No wonder ODOT never comes in on budget with incompetence like this! Taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for this! DEA was contracted for at least the Newberg-Dundee Bypass, the worst one, up 239% from original estimate. https://lnkd.in/epv6uESx

There are more than a few reasons why life here in Los Angeles is grand but one of them is the inspiration I get from the small but mighty non-profits that continue to make our city better. One is Public Matters, founded by Mike Blockstein and Reanne Estrada. If you want a break from the news cycle, have a look at this article titled "Conspiratorial Joy Lives Here."

We're excited to share this inspiring article by Eboo Patel, "What the YMCA Taught Me About Community, Civil Society, and Democracy." Reflecting on his formative years at the B.R. Ryall YMCA, Eboo shares how Y activities—from summer camps to swim lessons—shaped his life and taught them the value of community support and giving back. Read the full article to discover the life-changing impact YMCA programs have on youth. https://lnkd.in/guU3rdV3

It's Family Day and we're highlighting things that Connecticut families need to thrive: 👨🏽👩🏽👦🏽👦🏽 Affordable Housing: Increased access to affordable housing options, rent assistance programs, and initiatives to prevent homelessness can help families maintain stable living conditions. 👨🏽👩🏽👦🏽👦🏽 Quality education: Equitable funding for public schools, access to early childhood education, and programs to support students with special needs can ensure all children receive a high-quality education. 👨🏽👩🏽👦🏽👦🏽 Youth Programs and Opportunities: Investment in youth programs, community centers, and summer activities can help young people stay engaged, learn new skills, and build positive futures. 👨🏽👩🏽👦🏽👦🏽 Family Support Services: Access to family support services, including parenting classes, respite care for caregivers, and family counseling, can provide critical assistance in managing these challenges. By addressing these needs through community engagement, policy changes, and targeted support programs, Connecticut can help ensure that all families have the resources and opportunities they need to flourish.

Excellent conversation with Melanie Frazer, ACE and the Halton Hills Chamber of Commerce! Thanks for giving me a platform to share information about the Project SEARCH program. #networking #schooltoworkprogram

🤝 We recently talked to Pastor Gabriel Dominguez, Associate Pastor at the Methodist Church in City of Waco, TX, in a podcast, where he shared how Faith & Blue events facilitate collaboration and trust between law enforcement and communities. Pastor Dominguez explained, "The events themselves help in two different ways. They either kick off new partnerships between local churches or nonprofits and law enforcement, or they reinforce ongoing collaborations. For us, it reinforced what we were already doing in the community." 🙌 He recalled a memorable moment during a flyer distribution for a local event: "We were knocking on doors in the projects, and I knew many people there. One guy, skeptical at first, saw an officer with me and asked, 'What is he doing here?' I assured him, 'He's with me, bro. We're good.' This man, who had only interacted with police negatively, ended up joining us." This story illustrates how events can break the ice and foster meaningful connections between law enforcement and community members, even in challenging areas. For those looking to enhance their community engagement strategies, the Law Enforcement Community Engagement Network (LECEN) offers invaluable resources. LECEN provides best practices, peer support, industry expertise, and current research for both sworn and non-sworn personnel in community engagement roles across the nation. Join us in building bridges and fostering trust between law enforcement and communities through impactful community events.
