Minnesota should stop importing failed policy experiments like a climate superfund law (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When a tree falls in the woods, and no one’s there to hear it, does it make a sound? Likewise, when two separate federal judges strike down a state’s climate law as unconstitutional, and lawmakers elsewhere don’t listen, does it mean it didn’t happen? If you track Minnesota political trends for long enough, you’ll find that state policy proposals often reach us a few years after they pass our coastal cousins. For Minnesota’s farming community, this trend is increasingly alarming. Minnesota corn
Single moms are the community experts Minnesota needs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In July, the Jeremiah Program’s Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses hosted their inaugural Voices Rising event.

When physician anesthesiologists left the Minneapolis VA, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) stepped up. They stayed. They took on greater responsibility. And they helped keep operating rooms open and veterans receiving care. Their response reflects
Public safety means preventing violence before it happens (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Public safety isn’t only about how we respond after a shooting. Arguably more importantly, it’s about what we do to prevent one. That need has been painfully clear in Minneapolis. Earlier this month, a shooting in downtown Minneapolis left two people dead, as well as the shooter, and injured multiple civilians and police officers. It was another devastating act of gun violence in a city that already experienced a violent summer. That’s why Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s proposed 2027 budget, whi
