A cohesive COVID-19 response that Gov. Tim Walz has described as the envy of the nation showed signs of cracking Thursday as organizations threatened to defy the governor's remaining state lockdown restrictions.

Starting next week, people must wear face masks or similar coverings inside Minneapolis stores and other indoor gathering spots, or risk a $1,000 fine.

In what appears to be the largest award of its kind in state history, a University of Minnesota Law School professor has won nearly $1.2 million in his defamation case against a woman whose false rape allegation had him locked up in jail for three weeks and charged with a felony.

Minnesota's jobless rate last month vaulted to its highest level since 1983 - 8.1% - but officials said the figure lowballed the damage to the state workforce. A different indicator, the number of people filing unemployment claims, shows more than 20% of the state's workers have been hurt. And in preparing the monthly employment snapshot released Thursday, economists at the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) tried to understand why the unemployment rate was so far from...

The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission re-approved new Line 3 in February, a do-over vote necessary because an appellate court shot down its blessing of the project's environmental impact statement, or EIS. The PUC in February also approved a retooled EIS. https://www.startribune.com/opponents-of-...
