GOVERNOR TIM WALZ YESTERDAY RECEIVED THE ENDORSEMENT OF FORMER MINNESOTA GOVERNOR JESSIE VENTURA. VENTURA WAS AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE WHEN HE WON THE GOVERNOR’S RACE, AND HAS RARELY GIVEN ENDORSEMENTS TO EITHER MAJOR PARTY, BUT HE CALLED THIS ELECTION “TOO IMPORTANT”.
ELECTION DAY IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING. IN MINNESOTA, EMPLOYERS ARE ALREADY REQUIRED TO ALLOW WORKERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THE POLLS WHILE BEING PAID AT WORK. US LAWMAKERS ARE HOPING TO IMPLEMENT THAT CONCEPT NATIONWIDE. MINNESOTA IS ONE OF 22 STATES, PLUS THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, WHERE THIS IS THE CASE. SEVEN OTHERS HAVE LAWS STATING EMPLOYERS MUST ALLOW AN EMPLOYEE TO GO VOTE, BUT NOT NECESSARILY PAID. NORTH DAKOTA IS ONE OF 21 STATES WHERE AN EMPLOYER DOES NOT EVEN NEED TO ALLOW AN EMPLOYEE TO BE ABLE TO LEAVE.

A VAPE PEN IN THAT CAR IS BELIEVED TO POSSIBLY HAVE CONTAINED DELTA-8 THC, WHICH IS LEGAL IN THE STATE. THE CRASH KILLED THAT DRIVER AND HER FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER.
