SHE SAID IN THE LETTER THAT SHE APPRECIATES THE EFFORTS OF THE ADMINISTRATION, BUT THIS TRAGIC INCIDENT ILLUSTRATES THAT THERE IS MORE WORK TO BE DONE.

SALES WERE DOCUMENTED IN DULUTH, CLOQUET AND OTHER REGIONS OF ST. LOUIS AND CARLTON COUNTIES.
IN TALKING MORE BUDGET RECOMMENDATIONS, GOVERNOR WALZ SAYS HE BACKS THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA IN MINNESOTA.

MINNESOTANS LOOKING FOR HELP WITH BACK RENT HAVE UNTIL 9 PM FRIDAY TO COMPLETE AND SUBMIT THE APPLICATION FOR THE RENT-HELP-MN RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, THAT HAS ALREADY SUPPLIED NEARLY $350 MILLION TO 46,000 HOUSEHOLDS STATEWIDE.
