HOSPITALITY: via MPR News, VERBATIM: “On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis released the results of a new survey of Minnesota’s tourism and hospitality sector — think hotels, food and drink and entertainment. The results show profits were down for more than half of the 135 businesses surveyed. … Fed analyst Haley Chinander [said] a majority of those hospitality businesses saw declines in traffic and revenue. … Hiring stayed consistent within Minnesota’s hospitality industry throughout the summer. Companies were not looking to add workers, nor let go of them.” READ: http://fluence-media.co/4oibq0v
MORE: via KSTP, VERBATIM: “Most of the businesses that were surveyed saw a decline in sales this summer, [and] nearly 60% also said that tariffs are negatively impacting their business. … Most business owners still reported good financial health, with Greater Minnesota doing slightly better than the metro area. However, it’s a different story up north, with data showing fewer Canadians visiting.” READ/WATCH: http://fluence-media.co/4n3Gq3h
MORE: via WCCO Radio, VERBATIM: “Results from a September survey conducted by the Minneapolis Federal Reserve and Hospitality Minnesota show there are concerns about a drop in Canadian tourism. WHITCOMB: “”You know, for those businesses along the border that really rely on that, you know, car traveler or easy travel, we’re seeing declines in up to 40%,” explains Hospitality Minnesota President and CEO Angie Whitcomb. “Now when you see that over a season, that is significant to those businesses, bottom lines, and these are typically smaller resorts, always, almost always, independently owned.” READ/LISTEN: https://fluence-media.co/4n623QE

Moller is currently serving her 4th term as State Representative for District 40A, which covers Arden Hills, Mounds View, and parts of New Brighton and Shoreview. She is the DFL Co-Chair for the Public Safety and Ethics Committees.” MOLLER: “To be clear, my decision to retire from the legislature is not based on the horrific political violence that occurred this summer. … During my final year in office as Co-Chair of the Public Safety Committee, I will not stop fighting for policies to address the epidemics of gun violence and intimate partner violence.”
NOTE: Expect more retirements to be announced soon. We’ve heard of up to 8 potential Senate retirements that are pending.
MNSURE: via WCCO Radio, VERBATIM: “With open enrollment starting in a few weeks, officials with the state’s health insurance marketplace, MNsure, are preparing enrollees for some potentially painful changes under the federal budget bill passed earlier this year. MNsure CEO Libby Caulum told a Minnesota Senate panel Wednesday that those on Medicaid and Medicare will be paying more out-of-pocket, others will feel the pinch due to the sunsetting of enhanced premium tax credits, and DACA recipients are no longer eligible to purchase health coverage through MNsure. … ‘We estimate that up to 45% of MNsure enrollees could drop coverage,’ notes Caulum. She says a family of four from Albert Lea that paid $143 a month for their bronze plan this year would need to pay $490 a month for the same plan next year.” READ/LISTEN: http://fluence-media.co/4nRXOcv

TOWN HALLS: Gov. Tim Walz spoke to KSTP about his plan to hold town halls in Minnesota advocating for new gun regulations. WALZ: “I’m just going to take this out to the public. We’re going to hold a series of town halls. I’m going to specifically go into districts where I know that member [of the legislature] doesn’t want to vote for it because I think they’d vote yes if it came forward. I think Minnesotans deserve this.” READ/WATCH: http://fluence-media.co/47s09VN
TRADE: via KARE 11, VERBATIM: “In a visit to Faribault with Gov. Tim Walz on Wednesday, state agricultural leaders expressed concern about the impact of the trade war on soybean exports and said that President Donald Trump’s proposed bailout plan would fall short of the money needed to help farmers over the long term. Hosted by the Purfeerst family in rural Rice County, Walz spent roughly an hour on the farm. … They discussed various challenges facing farmers, including high production costs related to items like energy and fertilizer, as well as the Chinese boycott of American soybeans that has been ongoing since May as retaliation for the Trump Administration’s tariffs.” WALZ: “Our farmers will tell you they don’t want [bailouts], but I’m supportive. They need to get the resources now. This is not the solution, it is a band-aid — but when you need a band-aid, use the band-aid.” READ/WATCH: http://fluence-media.co/470c4bW
SNAP: via Pioneer Press, VERBATIM: “Minnesota officials are telling local governments to stop approving new applications for food stamps after receiving a warning from the federal government that funding for the program could dry up if the ongoing government shutdown doesn’t end by November. The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families has informed counties and tribal nations in the state that they couldn’t approve new SNAP applications. … [SNAP] serves around 440,000 Minnesotans — approximately 8% of the state’s population. … Interruption of new applications is the first major disruption to state and local government in Minnesota since the shutdown started.” READ: http://fluence-media.co/3WFUQvO
MORE: via Bring Me The News, VERBATIM: “Department of Children, Youth, and Families head Tikki Brown [said] the state received word from USDA officials late last week that if the shutdown continues into November, there will not be enough money to pay for SNAP benefits. … On Oct. 21, the state will notify SNAP and Minnesota Family Investment Program recipients they will not receive benefits for the month of November.” BROWN: “We will continue to work with counties, Tribal Nations, and community-based organizations, and we need Congress to act quickly to end the shutdown.” READ: http://fluence-media.co/46VwzYN
VOTER FRAUD: via Forum News Service, VERBATIM: “A northern Minnesota woman pleaded guilty Wednesday to voter fraud. … Danielle Christine Javorina, 51, of rural Nashwauk, admitted to filling out an absentee ballot in the name of her recently deceased mother ahead of the 2024 general election. … [She] told an investigator her mother was an ‘avid Donald Trump supporter’ who hoped to vote for the Republican presidential nominee. The fraudulent submission was flagged by election officials before it could be counted. … Javorina will spend up to three years on supervised probation, undergo a psychological evaluation, and pay an $885 fine and any restitution.” READ: http://fluence-media.co/46S1EMS
VOTER DATA: via Minnesota Reformer, VERBATIM: “Two Minnesota civil rights groups — League of Women Voters and Common Cause — filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit brought by the DOJ against Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon for his refusal to turn over the state’s voter registration list. This means that the two groups — represented by the ACLU — want to become a party to the lawsuit because the outcome will impact Minnesota voters. ‘The DOJ is seeking an unprecedented level of data collection that poses a significant threat to the privacy of Minnesotans,’ said David McKinney, a staff attorney with ACLU-MN.” READ: http://fluence-media.co/4oeXKmU
DESPITE THE CHALLENGES OF RURAL HEALTH CARE, ESSENTIA IS RECOGNIZED FOR PROVIDING TOP CLINICAL CARE: According to the latest report from Minnesota Community Measurement, a statewide resource on health care quality, costs and equity, Essentia ranked as a high performer with 19 of 20 clinical quality metrics scoring above statewide averages. According to Dr. Maria Beaver, chief quality and patient safety officer at Essentia: “This is a testament to the amazing care provided by all our clinical care teams and all our colleagues who support them.” LEARN MORE: https://fluence-media.co/4dCxy1D (SPONSORED: Essentia Health)
TRANSPARENCY: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “A political action committee aligned with opponents of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is accusing him of deleting work-related texts and other phone records from his cellphone in violation of state law. Frey maintains he’s done nothing wrong and has the backing of the city attorney. … Minneapolis for the Many, which supports the mayoral campaign of state Sen. Omar Fateh, is highlighting the issue. … The group requested records of Frey’s communications surrounding two high-profile events: the June federal raid on a Lake Street restaurant and last year’s shooting of a man by his neighbor. In both cases, the city told Minneapolis for the Many the phone records they requested did not exist. … Experts and transparency advocates agree that the mayor’s substantive work-related text messages should all be saved and disclosed to the public. But there’s disagreement over what work-related texts are substantive.” READ: http://fluence-media.co/4hgzBdy
APOLOGY: via Mpls for the Many, VERBATIM: “A few weeks ago, Minneapolis for the Many made social media posts and emails describing Jim Rubin, of Mint Properties, as a ‘negligent’ landlord and stated that he ‘is singlehandedly responsible for hundreds of property violations.’ We retract those statements and sincerely apologize to Mr. Rubin. He has never been held negligent in his duties as a landlord by a court, nor is it fair to say he is personally responsible for every property violation found at his company’s properties. Mr. Rubin has a history of purchasing, renovating, and operating older buildings which often includes inheriting major maintenance backlogs. Mr. Rubin’s efforts to create naturally occurring affordable housing in Minneapolis are laudable and much appreciated. Minneapolis for the Many regrets the implication that Mr. Rubin could be considered a ‘slumlord’ or ‘negligent landlord.’”
LGBTQ: via Minnesota Reformer, VERBATIM: “The U.S. Supreme Court last week held oral arguments on Colorado’s prohibition of mental health practitioners trying to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of their minor patients, or what’s become known as ‘conversion therapy.’ … A decision overturning the ban, expected next summer, could have ramifications for Minnesota, which enacted a similar law. … Ten Republicans — eight in the House and two in the Senate — voted [for the ban] alongside Minnesota Democrats. … Rep. Roger Skraba, R-Ely, voted for the bill [and] said he didn’t feel it was right for people to tell children that who they are is wrong. … Sen. Scott Dibble, D-Minneapolis, [said] he hasn’t considered a legislative response to a loss at the Supreme Court, but he said he’ll work to ensure people who practice conversion therapy aren’t taxpayer funded.” READ: http://fluence-media.co/479XZbY

HOUSING: via KARE 11, VERBATIM: “President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on imported lumber went into effect Tuesday, aimed at boosting the United States timber production. They include a 10% tariff on all timber and lumber imports and a 25% tariff on cabinets and furniture. … Critics argue it will raise the cost to build a home. … Nick Erickson, senior director of housing policy for Housing First Minnesota, [said] tariffs will only add to what is already a record low affordability on new construction. He says Minnesota is the most expensive market in the Upper Midwest and the state is short 100,000 homes.” READ/WATCH: http://fluence-media.co/47r4wAy
OCT 30: via AgriGrowth, VERBATIM: “Economic data from the first quarter of 2025 showed that Minnesota’s GDP decreased by 2.42% from the previous year, driven by mounting challenges in the agriculture industry. Minnesota’s agriculture and food sector has been a cornerstone of the state’s economic growth, often mitigating or cushioning recessions. To strengthen our agriculture and food economy, change is required. Minnesota AgriGrowth’s fall summit will continue the hard questions being asked at kitchen tables and board rooms: ‘How do we build a robust agriculture and food economy in Minnesota by 2040?’” AGENDA: https://fluence-media.co/3L2utxu (SPONSORED: AgriGrowth)

3. Hot air belongs outside.

MPLS: via MPR News, VERBATIM: “Labor groups are calling for Minneapolis to more proactively enforce the city’s regulations against worker wage theft and on-site harassment. They say these protections are even more important as immigrant workers are targeted by federal law enforcement operations. … A report released Wednesday by the progressive think tank North Star Policy Action recommended that the city use its permitting power and partner with third-party auditing programs to ensure that labor regulations already on the books are enforced. … Minneapolis City Council President Elliott Payne…vowed to work with labor groups to find ways to more proactively enforce the city’s labor protections.” READ: http://fluence-media.co/479FOn4
ST PAUL: via Pioneer Press, VERBATIM: “A year after inheriting the remnants of planning for a long-stalled transit line down West Seventh Street, St. Paul officials have announced that a future bus rapid transit system likely will operate in regular traffic, rather than its own dedicated lane. Also, a full reconstruction of West Seventh Street with utility and pedestrian improvements isn’t likely in the near future. … ‘It’s become clear that we’re not all in agreement,’ said Russ Stark, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter’s chief resilience officer, on Wednesday.” READ: http://fluence-media.co/4hcRZE9
ST LOUIS CTY: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “Several St. Louis County commissioners are under fire from constituents for signing nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) related to a massive Hermantown data center. … Commissioner Ashley Grimm attempted to raise the issue at Tuesday’s board meeting but couldn’t get a second motion to bring it to discussion and to vote on a proposed ban on signing such agreements.

Tom Emmer, a member of the House Republican leadership in Congress, condemning his statements characterizing Minnesotans and other Americans who protest at ‘No Kings’ rallies as a ‘terrorist wing’ who ‘hate America.’ In her letter to Congressman Emmer, Leader Murphy said such divisive rhetoric endangers peaceful protesters.” LETTER: https://fluence-media.co/433vVWT
POT BIZ: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “After more than 20 rejections from landlords, Brian Bartley began to wonder if Minnesota’s new cannabis industry was really open for business. The 57-year-old Army veteran is trying to get his social-equity cannabis microbusiness, Green Lane Express, off the ground. He received his preliminary license in April, starting an 18-month clock to open his business. … But each time he mentioned marijuana during lease talks, the conversation ended almost as quickly as it began.

MSU: via MPR News, VERBATIM: “Colleges and universities across the country are cutting their budgets amid rising costs, federal funding cuts and declining student enrollment.
