Teenagers are fueling a slight uptick in COVID-19 activity in Minnesota, which on Tuesday reported an increase in the positivity rate of diagnostic testing to 3.9%.

WASHINGTON - Russian President Vladimir Putin authorized influence operations to help Donald Trump in last November's presidential election, according to a declassified intelligence assessment that found broad efforts by the Kremlin and Iran to shape the outcome of the race but ultimately no evidence that any foreign actor changed votes or otherwise disrupted the voting process.

CenterPoint Energy is proposing to spread the cost of a colossal natural gas price spike - $354 per household on average - over two years to help cushion the blow to Minnesota consumers and the company itself.

CenterPoint residential customers could see their annual gas bill rise by about 50%. "That's astronomical," said...

A ban on lead used in fishing equipment - sinkers and jigs - is again being discussed at the Legislature. Lead poisons any animal that ingests it. The impetus this year was discovery of dead trumpeter swans that were believed to have swallowed lost lead fishing gear while feeding. Lead pellets, leftovers from the days when lead birdshot was legal for waterfowl hunting, also are a problem. Lead shot was banned nationwide in 1991. Lead remains on lake bottoms, however, and it never breaks down....
