    Jan 20, 2023

  • Eggs are expensive. For bakeries and breakfast joints, the pain is multiplied

    Jan 20, 2023

    If the price of a dozen eggs at the grocery store seems severe, imagine cracking hundreds per day.

"We're paying $2,000 more per week compared to this time last year," said Sam Turner, owner of the Nicollet Diner in Minneapolis, which brings in about $10,000 in revenue a day. "That can be very painful." https://www.startri...

  • Abortion-until-birth bill passes Minnesota House

    Jan 20, 2023

    ST. PAUL — Today the Minnesota House narrowly approved the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act, a sweeping bill that would enshrine unlimited abortion, at any stage of pregnancy, in Minnesota law.
