The stripped-down design also features a solid block of light blue to represent Minnesota's water. "We needed to focus on one thing to make us different," said the State Emblems...

  • Minnesota's population rises, but low birth rates and elevated deaths continue

    Dec 20, 2023

    Minnesota's population saw slight gains in 2023, driven by more typical migration patterns and fewer deaths compared to the prior two flat, pandemic-affected years. The number of people living in Minnesota increased by 0.4% or 23,615 people between July 2022 and July 2023, according to a U.S. census report released Tuesday. The state continues to see low birth rates and elevated deaths as its population ages, and that matches the general trends seen across the country, said Susan Brower,...

    Dec 20, 2023

    Bird flu cases have slowed their vicious spread across Minnesota turkey farms in recent weeks after a new wave of the virus landed in the state earlier this fall. Since a Meeker County turkey producer became the state's first commercial poultry operation to report avian influenza in 2023 in October, 33 more sites have suffered an outbreak. But just four farms have confirmed cases so far in December. That brings this year's toll above 2 million birds killed by the virus or culled to prevent its...

    Dec 20, 2023

  • Red Lake joins a small club: Minnesota school districts with e-buses

    Dec 20, 2023

    Electric buses were a natural fit for Red Lake Schools, which takes pride in a host of environmental initiatives, said Superintendent Tim Lutz.

But there were a few hurdles to clear for the district in rural northern Minnesota, including the cost: An electric bus is far more expensive than a gas-powered one. The...

    DULUTH — U.S. Steel shaped Minnesota’s Iron Range, transforming the region from a frontier to a key part of the country’s industrial complex. “U.S. Steel isn’t just a really big company that employs a lot of people in the area,” said Aaron Brown, an Iron Range historian and author. “It’s the reason that a lot of towns that currently exist were formed.” While the Merrit Brothers began shipping ore from the Mesabi Range in 1892, East Coast financiers like John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Oliver, J.P. Morgan and Charles Schwab be...

  • Colorado Supreme Court says Trump is ineligible to run again

    Dec 20, 2023

    The Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Donald Trump is disqualified by the Constitution from serving as president again because he stoked an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. The 4-3 ruling, which rests on an interpretation of the 14th Amendment, will almost certainly force the issue to the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve whether Trump, the leading candidate for the Republican nomination, is eligible to hold future public office. The Colorado court ruled that Trump cannot appear on the...
