How on earth were they allowing indirect costs that high???
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

Who needs to follow a state law when you really really want to do something?
The City Council is ignoring state law that requires at least 50% of businesses to agree to a pedestrian-only redesign in order to appease a group of activists after the city has spent years on community engagement and planning. What a clown show.

Mpls CM Wonsley +other council members direct staff to research robots and their impact on workers worldwide. Mpls is not well-served by its city council.

That, a bunch of meetings, analysis… But some council members want this and so do some vocal activists so here we are. Mpls in a nutshell.
the city council is ignoring the results of two surveys it has conducted of residents and business owners

It’s also hard to reach consensus when the majority of the council members are socialists and the mayor is not. Pretty significant difference in starting point.

@pdouglasweather It seems like we hyperventilate over relatively small amounts of snow a whole lot more than we used to.
