While all 201 legislative seats will be on the ballot, only a small fraction are considered truly competitive.
mprnews.org
All 201 Minnesota legislative seats are on November’s ballot. These are the most competitive
The House and Senate contests in these competitive districts could decide which party wins control of the Minnesota Legislature next year.

Costs are soaring because of Donald Trump's policies. But no matter what Trump does in Washington, we have to take action in Minnesota to make life more affordable. From health care to housing, lowering costs will be my job as Governor. Watch my new ad ⬇️

this eventually going to court would be the funniest possible outcome. I think LawyerBall is disastrous for the sport!! the Bail Mary is probably the most legally redressable officiating call I can imagine, but I think any court faced with it should run screaming. over yonder be dragons

Until the takeover, around 2015, NO ONE called it "southside". Southside is CHICAGO. "South" is Minneapolis. Hope this helps. x.com/mayorfrey/stat...

seems like in the age of instagram and tiktok chasing trends/popular issues, the value of hyperlocal reporting is being lost. plug in your neighborhood and report what is happening at that level because it's where you're an expert AND can also have the most impact if you pick something to focus on!

I want a police chief willing to stand in front of city council and explain precisely why everyone should trust MPD to prevent another mass shooting in Uptown. I also wonder why councilors are so uninterested in asking the same question publicly.

Just an aside, this may be the youngest crowd I’ve ever seen at a Minneapolis neighborhood meeting.
A few hundred people crowded into the Itasca Event Gallery for the North Loop Neighborhood Association's monthly planning and zoning committee meeting Wednesday. Those in attendance largely opposed a proposal to redevelop the Minnesota Star Tribune's printing plant into a data center. (Katie Galioto)

“No legal basis for a denial has been found” should be written in chalk on Reign’s sidewalk next time there’s a mass shooting in Uptown. Unsure who signs it though. Frey? Barnette? Peterson? Kelly? Osman? Chughtai? Shaffer? City licensing staff? Conundrum.

"Consolidation" is a great word that covers up bad things, i.e. harmful cuts and service reductions for the Minneapolis Parks. The MPRB is a well run orginization that is fiscally shrewd. Austerity levels of funding is not the way forward. www.minnpost.com/community-vo...

A message to the city of Minneapolis: Consolidation would hurt our parks
The quality of our Minneapolis parks would erode under consolidation and be an ineffective use of taxpayer dollars.
