"For Minneapolis, everybody lost. 1500 businesses were destroyed. Most of them haven’t returned. There was over $350 million in property damage, an economic and graphic wound that will haunt for decades.  Residents moved away, many to northern Minnesota. Downtown is a ghost town. The police force is still severely depleted so murders, robbery, and carjackings are among the highest in the nation. 38th and Chicago continues to be an autonomous zone. Outside Cup Foods the temple of George Floyd stands. The sacred ground is covered with graffiti, iconic fists, flowers, and slogans."

"Democrats will now control the executive branch and both chambers of the Legislature for the first time since 2012."

"The documents show that the Minnesota Department of Education was alerted to another possible fraud in the free food program as early as August 2021. Ironically, these fraud warnings came from none other than Aimee Bock."

"U.S. Attorney Andy Luger stunned the political world last week when he announced charges against 47 Minnesotans (now 49) for allegedly defrauding the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Child Nutrition Programs, administered locally by the Minnesota Department of Education, of $250 million."

"Gov. Tim Walz has said in past campaigns that he wasn’t actually drunk when he was pulled over for driving under the influence in 1995, but a court transcript from the case tells a different story.  Walz submitted to and failed both a field sobriety test and a preliminary breath test, according to the report. He was then transported to Chadron Hospital for a blood test before being booked into the Dawes County Jail."

"Audio clips from the archives of Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) reveal the harsh words Keith Ellison has had for Minneapolis police officers.  MPR previously included remarks from Ellison in its coverage of policing and crime, mostly from the early 1990s when Ellison was a lawyer and political activist.  In some of those remarks, Ellison is heard calling the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) “vicious” people who are “wolves in sheep’s clothing,” as well as an “occupying force.”"

Scott Jensen is now leading Tim Walz for the position of Governor of Minnesota.

"Jim Schultz, the Republican candidate for attorney general in Minnesota, is now tied with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D), according to a MinnPost poll released Monday."

"One of Minnesota’s public university systems has ordered its schools to remove any and all references to “law enforcement.”  Administrators at Hennepin Technical College, a member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, informed staff members who teach law enforcement courses of the change in a recent email."

“Two additional counties are seeking the advice of the Minnesota Supreme Court after sending voters erroneous ballots.  Ballots sent out in Kittson and Roseau counties failed to include party affiliation for all federal and state offices, except the governor. Additionally, incumbency status for judicial elections was missing.”

Would it be too much to ask for a little competence in the Secretary of State's office and at the Counties?
