Democrats in the Minnesota Legislature checked off almost every item on their agenda this year, passing a sweeping $71.5 billion two-year budget that taps most of the state's surplus. But as is usually the case at the Capitol, some work was left unfinished when lawmakers adjourned on Monday. Legislators didn't legalize sports gambling or approve a constitutional amendment that would ask voters to guarantee equal rights regardless of gender. And while they passed a bill that would give Uber and...
For Toni Kay Mangskau, 2017 was a cruel year. Her mother was receiving cancer treatment when her brother, who is developmentally disabled and for whom she is a guardian, landed in intensive care for weeks. Her children also had health issues that demanded her attention. "It's just a struggle where you want to be there for your loved ones," said Mangskau, whose only option was unpaid leave. The health care worker lost a third of her income that year. https://www.startribune.com/minnesotas-paid-family-and-medical-leave-program...

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday eliminated federal protections for vast numbers of the nation's wetlands, setting the stage for their conversion to farm fields and urban development. The effect could be blunted for Minnesota's 10 million acres of wetlands because of state conservation laws. But the effects of lost wetlands elsewhere could be felt here in the impact on migratory birds and water quality. The nation's highest court ruled that federal Clean Water Act protections only apply to...

The DNR had revoked the leases for Mesabi's delay-plagued...
