EXAMPLE:
FATEH: via Deena Winter at the Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “Omar Fateh was the first Somali American elected to serve in the state Senate and is believed to be the first such state senator in the United States…He also became the only self-identified democratic socialist in the state Legislature…Now, he has set his sights on a new goal: Mayor of Minneapolis… Fateh introduced legislation to increase Uber and Lyft drivers’ wages, and pressured DFL leaders to keep it alive during the waning days of the 2023 session. At the time, the DFL had a one-seat majority in the Senate, so every vote was crucial.
After the bill passed, drivers carried him around on their shoulders through the Capitol, setting the scene for an iconic photo. But Walz vetoed the bill. Instead, he created a task force to come up with legislation for the 2024 session…Fateh was appointed to the task force but withdrew, never attending a meeting. In 2024, Fateh again leveraged the DFL’s one-seat margin on the issue in the Legislature’s final days — taking it so far as to go missing from the Senate for a spell, shutting down the entire chamber until an agreement was at hand.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3Vdr6WH
MORE: via the Center for the American Experiment, VERBATIM: “The far-left Fateh has racked up an impressive number of scandals in his short, four-year political career. City hall reporter Deena Winter (now with the Minnesota Star Tribune) documented many of them, back when she wrote for the MN Reformer… When the Feeding Our Future scandal broke in January 2022, it was revealed that Sen. Fateh had to return 11 campaign contributions totaling $11,000 received from individuals linked to the case. (Out of a total of $41,000 raised that year (2021).)…It was also reported that Fateh had been a public supporter of the embattled food charity. From the Sahan Journal,
Last summer [2021], Omar [Fateh] attended a public event with Feeding Our Future Executive Director Aimee Bock and criticized the state Department of Education’s decision to pause funding for the nonprofit…In a video of last summer’s event, Omar [Fateh] stated that he met with state officials about the state’s actions to pause the funding. That video, posted on YouTube by Xogmaal Media, a local independent Somali news outlet, was removed from public viewing one day after the search warrants became public…Xogmaal Media is operated by Mohamed Noor, who would later become Defendant No. 49 in the sprawling free-food scandal.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4fQQERP
TODAY: Fateh will announce for mayor at 11:00 today at City Hall. Fateh already had a website up for his mayoral campaign as of Saturday. WEBSITE: https://fluence-media.co/3OA6UuD
MORE: via X/Twitter this morning a video and thready from Fateh. TWEET: https://fluence-media.co/4gau0ni
OTHERS: Mayor Jacob Frey is expected to run for re-election, Rev. DeWayne Davis previously. Council member Emily Koski is expected to announce soon.
DNC: via Politico, VERBATIM: “The wide-open race for Democratic National Committee chair already has an emerging front-runner. In a measure of outreach even his competitors have acknowledged in recent days, Ken Martin, head of Minnesota’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, said he has locked down nearly half of the needed endorsements to win the contest. … [But] Martin’s early efforts may ultimately be put to the test by other, bigger-name potential candidates who have not yet entered the race, like Rahm Emanuel or Sherrod Brown. … Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who unsuccessfully ran for DNC chair in 2017 with the backing of progressives, said he is endorsing Martin.” ELLISON: “He knows that his role is essentially a process role. He’s trying to get people to vote, to run. He’s not trying to say, ‘Here’s what you need to stand for.’” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4fVsuG6
MORE: via WISN, VERBATIM: “Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chairman Ben Wikler launched his bid Sunday morning for Democratic National Committee chairman. Wikler will join a growing field of candidates, including the head of Minnesota Democrats, Ken Martin, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and New York state Sen. James Skoufis. … More than 400 members of the Democratic National Committee are expected to vote on their new chair during a meeting Feb. 1. The party will also host public forums ahead of the vote.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3OGgWu1
RESPONSE: Wisconsin Democrat Chair Ben Wikler was asked by WISN if Minnesota DFL Chair Ken Martin is the “front runner” to lead the DNC as Martin says he has already secured endorsements from 100 DNC members. WIKLER: “Ken absolutely starts with a head start. He's been working on this for a while. He's a friend. I also know that the path to victory is wide open. There are 448 voting members of the Democratic National Committee. I've been thrilled by the support I’ve already heard.” WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/3OzsM9m
54A: via MPR News, VERBATIM: “In a key Minnesota House race, the Scott County Attorney’s Office disclosed that a set of absentee ballots that couldn’t be located during a post-election audit appear to have been mistakenly tossed in the trash and are unlikely to be retrieved. The information comes in a House district where a DFL representative won reelection narrowly. The Minnesota House Republican Caucus has said it plans to challenge the result in court. … Scott County Attorney Ron Hocevar announced in preliminary investigation results that 20 absentee ballots from Shakopee were accepted in October but not counted. The ballots and their secrecy envelopes were likely thrown away accidentally between the time they were submitted and Election Day. … House GOP Leader Lisa Demuth, of Cold Spring, said the findings should spur a special election in the district.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4ihp3L8
40B: via KSTP, VERBATIM: “A residency lawsuit in the District 40B race could shift the balance of power in the state House of Representatives. In the district, which covers parts of Roseville and Shoreview, Republican Paul Wikstrom, who lost the election, filed a challenge against the winner’s residency. Wikstrom alleges Democrat Curtis Johnson lives in Little Canada and then leased an apartment in the district in the spring, but never actually lived there. … Wikstrom now wants a special election to be called. Johnson’s attorneys filed a motion to dismiss on Wednesday.” If Wikstrom prevails, the House would no longer be tied. READ: https://fluence-media.co/3BbnIVF
MORE: According to court documents filed by DFLer Curtis Johnson as part of a motion to dismiss the residency case against him, Johnson said the reason his leased apartment in Roseville was seemingly empty is because he had moved to a different apartment in the same building following a number of plumbing issues in his original unit. REPORT: https://fluence-media.co/49eRMfw
TIE: via Pioneer Press, VERBATIM: “The Minnesota House is headed for a partisan tie for the first time since 1979…[but] political observers and lawmakers who were in office during the last tied House say the Democratic-Farmer-Labor and Republican House leaders are already off to a much better start in negotiations than they were more than 40 years ago. … ‘It will boil down to some of the personalities involved,’ said former Rep. Lyndon Carlson, a Hennepin County DFLer who is Minnesota’s longest-serving lawmaker. ‘I’m left with the impression that the two leaders on the House side — at least as an outside observer — it seems like they work relatively well together.’” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3CSZJet
PHILLIPS: via KSTP, VERBATIM: “Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips isn’t gloating about the results of the 2024 presidential election, even though they unequivocally proved he was right about the potential dangers for Democrats if President Joe Biden ran for reelection. ‘If I am a pariah, so be it,’ Phillips [said]. ‘I’m going to use that to my advantage to try and reform a party I think is in desperate, desperate need of it.’ … As for his political future, Phillips says he has no plans to run for governor or a U.S. Senate seat, [but] he’s going to find ways to reform the Democratic Party.” READ/WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/4fSVpdB
ST PAUL: via Pioneer Press, VERBATIM: “To reduce the mayor’s budget proposal by $6 million, as the city council has requested, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter’s administration would have to lay off 16 police officers, slash 5,000 staff service hours from the city’s parks and recreation centers and cut some 6,000 hours of staff service in city libraries, likely shuttering some facilities. That’s according to a recent analysis from the city’s Office of Financial Services, which has been helping Carter assemble a detailed response to the council’s demands to lower his proposed property tax levy from 7.9% down to 5%. … The St. Paul City Council is poised to host its annual ‘Truth in Taxation’ hearing in the downtown council chambers at 6 p.m. on Monday, but this one may be like few others before it, with millions of dollars in proposed spending cuts from the next city budget still up in the air.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3CTAOYe
CELL PHONES: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “State Sen. Alice Mann, DFL-Edina, suggested recently to a group of St. Paul high school students that limits on cellphones at school could ensure ‘you get the education you’re here to get.’ The kids weren’t buying it. … The community engagement portion of the state’s cellphones-in-schools debate [is] now playing out. … After an initial flurry of schools dictating that the devices be put away for the day, surveys and discussions are underway elsewhere to determine the best steps forward at the local level. Mann has organized roundtables across the state with students, parents and educators to help guide any legislative moves that may be needed next year, she said.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3OztvHF
COLLEGES: via Pioneer Press, VERBATIM: “Despite enrollment ups and downs, several colleges and universities in the east metro have fundraised for new buildings, structures and renovations. … The University of St. Thomas sounded a budget alarm in April as it announced staff layoffs and other belt-tightening measures. At the same time, St. Thomas welcomed visitors to the Schoenecker Center, a new arts and sciences building…not far from two new residence halls and three other residential buildings that were recently renovated. … Like St. Thomas, Macalester College in St. Paul and Bethel University in Arden Hills faced years of steady or declining enrollment during the pandemic, as well as rising labor costs and other factors unsettling college campuses across the country. But they, too, have embarked on capital campaigns with the goal, in part, of erecting new buildings or renovating existing ones.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/41k5trA
4-DAY WEEK: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “Facing budget deficits, declining enrollment and challenges hiring teachers, some school districts in Minnesota have begun exploring a shift to a four-day school week. Shortening the school week is an approach that has gained traction in recent years as a way to save money, boost student attendance and improve staff retention. … In Minnesota, only seven districts operate on a four-day week, [but] school districts in Chatfield, St. Charles, Byron and Lewiston-Altura have all considered it recently. … [Critics] have raised concerns about added child care expenses and developmental consequences.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4geGIl6
VITAL PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT FUELS THE FUTURE OF THIS WISCONSIN TRIBE: In 2017, one of the “glaring needs” for the Lac Courte Oreilles (LCO) Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians in northwest Wisconsin was an expanded wastewater treatment facility. “It was at capacity. We were not able to expand any of our businesses or facilities,” says Jason, the LCO Band’s Emergency Management Coordinator. With the support of Enbridge and several other partners, the LCO Band quadrupled its wastewater treatment capacity — allowing for creation of a new preschool, fire hall, 40-unit apartment complex, police headquarters and, still to come, health clinic and new residential community. “I’m very grateful for the partnership we’ve developed with Enbridge,” says Jason. WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/49v4mHc (SPONSORED: Enbridge)
ABORTION: via MPR News, VERBATIM: “[Some Minnesotans are] worrying about how Donald Trump might impact the ability to access abortion, despite living in one of the most accessible states in the nation. Planned Parenthood North Central States recently reported it has seen a 150% increase in patients scheduling appointments for long-acting birth control options like implants and intrauterine devices (IUDs) since Trump won. … WE Health, a reproductive clinic in Duluth that also provides abortion, said it [has] been receiving more calls about advance provision, which is when the pills for medication abortion are provided before pregnancy.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/49fsP3G
MORE: via AP News, VERBATIM: “An emboldened fringe of right-wing ‘manosphere’ influencers [are using] Republican Donald Trump’s presidential win to justify and amplify misogynistic derision and threats. … Many have appropriated a 1960s abortion rights rallying cry, declaring ‘Your body, my choice’ at women, online and [in person]. … The slogan has made its way offline [via] boys chanting it in middle schools or men directing it at women on college campuses, according to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue. … School districts in Wisconsin and Minnesota have sent notices about the language to parents.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3ZiAn0S
POT: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “A critical goal of Minnesota’s first lottery for people seeking cannabis business licenses was to give a select number of cultivators the opportunity to immediately begin growing. … That goal is now in jeopardy after a Ramsey County judge blocked the state’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) from holding the lottery in response to lawsuits filed by applicants who said they were unfairly denied entrance. Judge Stephen Smith sent the recently filed legal challenges to the Minnesota Court of Appeals for further review Monday, delaying the lottery indefinitely. … The lottery’s postponement, however long it may be, delays cultivation from starting. That could lead to less supply for retailers when the market opens next year.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3OCxqUd
MORE: via an OCM press release, VERBATIM: “The Office of Cannabis Management will not add any new medical delivery methods (the form in which a medication is taken) to the medical cannabis program in 2025. OCM is required by law to conduct an annual petition process on delivery methods for Minnesota’s medical cannabis program. … Three petitions considered for the program this year were to allow for dry powder inhalation, infused flower, and concentrates. OCM evaluated the petitions based on a review of scientific evidence and potential health and safety impacts for patients.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4ihVdGr
VETERANS: via WCCO-TV, VERBATIM: “Private health information of over 600 veterans in Minnesota was obtained in a nationwide cyberattack, according to the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Health Care System. The agency says documents with information of 2,302 Veterans around the country were encrypted and potentially copied by a ‘malicious party.’ The documents were managed by the contracted medical transcription company DBP, Inc. and contained some or all of the following information: full names, medical record information and social security numbers.” READ/WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/41eQpvw

Broad permitting reform for all responsible industries is essential to strengthening Minnesota’s communities and advancing our state’s clean energy future. (SPONSORED: Jobs for Minnesotans)
WIRE THEFT: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “A trade group representing scrap metal workers has sued the Minnesota Department of Commerce, alleging that a new law designed to curb copper [wire] theft will violate the state’s constitution and shutter the scrap metal industry. The Recycled Materials Association [said] in the lawsuit that the copper wire theft law, which will become effective Jan. 1 and require a license for people who sell copper, is an unconstitutional separation of powers that gives [officials] sweeping authority and little guidance. And because the bill applies to small amounts of copper metal, industry leaders worry that all Minnesotans selling scrap metal will need a license.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3ZbI9tH
UBER/LYFT: via Minnesota Reformer, VERBATIM: “A new minimum wage for Uber and Lyft drivers in Minnesota [took] effect on Sunday. … Drivers for transportation network companies will earn at least $1.28 per mile and 31 cents per minute on average for time spent driving passengers. With that rate, the typical driver in the Twin Cities can expect to earn at least $34.58 per hour before they pay for gas and other expenses — a 14% increase over 2022 pay. … Customers in the Twin Cities metro area can expect to see about a 25% increase in pricing at first, according to an Uber spokeswoman.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3ZtLeqi
(DISCLOSURE: Uber is a client and sponsor of Fluence Media)
BROADBAND: via MinnPost, VERBATIM: “While Minnesota will be receiving $652 million from the federal Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program to help fund broadband access projects across the state, many internet service providers might not opt-in over frustrations with the program. ‘My members are telling me they’re not going to participate,’ said Brent Christensen, president and CEO of Minnesota Telecom Alliance. ‘The way that BEAD is structured. I don’t know how anybody’s going to participate.’ … The industry is frustrated with the federal body because of [numerous] requirements and the amount of time it’s taken to set up a program.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3ZiwEAq
HOMELESS: via Office of the Governor, VERBATIM: “Governor Tim Walz today announced $6 million in funding to support the expansion of emergency homeless shelters in Saint Paul. … Funding is authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act and will support Interfaith Action of Greater Saint Paul, a nonprofit organization that provides families with emergency shelter, food, clothing, tutoring and job coaching, and free legal assistance. The $6 million will fund Interfaith Action’s Project Home, an emergency shelter for families facing homelessness.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4ge49Lf
CLIMATE: Via Bring Me The News, preliminary figures show the Twin Cities this year had their highest average autumn temperatures on record. VERBATIM: “We’re now wrapping up meteorological fall, which runs Sept. 1 through Nov. 30. The consistency of the anomalous warmth has been remarkable. It wasn’t just a really warm September — [almost] every single week of fall has been warm, with just a few brief shots of cooler weather. In the Twin Cities, we’re likely to beat the previous #1 fall (1931) by a whole degree. … Six of the top 10 warmest falls in the Twin Cities have happened since 2011…[and] we’re neck and neck with 2012 for the warmest year to date.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4itfLMz

FARMINGTON: via Pioneer Press, VERBATIM: “Farmington is on its way to being the home of a sprawling $5 billion data center park following a recent vote by the Farmington City Council that came as a disappointment to some residents. The council recently approved a final plat and final planned unit development for Tract, a data center development company, to build up to 12 data centers across some 340 acres. … A Facebook group called Environmental Coalition of Farmington Minnesota has garnered more than 250 members with the goal of objecting to the data center park.

GREY CLOUD: via Pioneer Press, VERBATIM: “A mining company that operates a rock quarry in Grey Cloud Island Township wants to relocate its operation onto adjacent lands, a move that could extend the life of the mine by up to 25 years. Holcim MWR Inc., formerly Aggregate Industries, is proposing to expand the Larson Quarry onto an adjacent 148-acre property that the company owns. … No change in quarry operations or production levels is proposed. There are only five to seven years of life remaining in the existing permitted quarry area; the expansion could extend the life of the mine by 20 to 25 years, according to an environmental review of the project.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/41d0ZTL

From Wednesday’s Fluence newsletters:
MN ECONOMY: via Agweek, VERBATIM: “As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for a second term, his economic proposals have left experts wondering about the potential impact on Minnesota’s economy. Economists and industry leaders are watching closely, as proposed tariffs and trade negotiations could affect supply chains, while changes to immigration policies might affect everything from farm income to workforce availability.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4fII9s7
RED LAKE: via MPR News, VERBATIM: “Red Lake Nation leaders and state officials with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources disagree on how to combat zebra mussels at Upper Red Lake. Tensions between the two governments bubbled up [at] a quarterly meeting of the Minnesota Indian Affairs, a group made up of the state’s tribal leaders, as Commissioner of Natural Resources Sarah Strommen fielded questions from a Red Lake official. Red Lake Secretary Sam Strong questioned Strommen for several minutes about the state’s approach to combating aquatic invasive species. Strommen explained the state’s response to the presence of zebra mussel veligers — or larvae — in Upper Red Lake is the most aggressive response of any place around the state.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3CWjYru
