In their first and most likely only official debate on Wednesday, Oct. 21, Minnesota’s gubernatorial candidates, DFL US Sen. Amy Klobuchar and state Rep. and House speaker Lisa Demuth, sparred on a variety of topics involving state policies and Minnesotans’ trust in their elected officials.

Hi , I pregnant going to be a mother of 1, not married. The baby is due in december and I am supposed to renew January. I havent worked much for the last 6months but before I did. Wondering what the max income is for my renewal in January. I read online babys are covered by MA for a year after ?

Doug Chapin is the DFL contender for the “Solid Red” 6th Congressional District in Minnesota, and he says his campaign is strong enough to beat Republican US Rep. Tom Emmer. Emmer, who is also the GOP Majority Whip for the US House, as held the seat for 11 years.

So I live in Olmsted county but not in Rochester, I live in one of the small towns in the county. I went in on Friday and early voted at the one early voting location in Olmsted county in Rochester. Gave them my address they printed off my address on my sheet and it was correct. Had my right town. Sounds good. I go to fill out my ballot, seemed fine although I did think it seemed a little short, whatever though. I put it through the tabulator and leave.

As I’m driving away I start thinking about it and I go wait…I do NOT remember the mayor for my town being on my ballot, and I also don’t remember the city council being on my ballot. It’s possible I am remembering wrong but I really do not think either were on there and although my memory is not the greatest, I had just filled it out.

I go back in and ask them about it. They say it sounds like I was givin a township ballot for my town and not a city ballot for my town. Since township ballots do not include votes for mayor or city council. And those are the two things I remember not being on my ballot. Well I was pissed I gave them my right address and was not givin the correct ballot. They said there wasn’t anything that could be done at this point since I had already entered my ballot in the tabulator.

On the plus side there were only two or three people running for like three seats on city council so that vote didn’t matter much. Although there are two people running for mayor and I definitely have a strong preference there.

So just a psa, take a look at your ballot and make sure everything that should be on there is on there when you are filling it out. Maybe even more so if you are in one of the small towns. I think this would have been less likely to happen if I had voted on Election Day in my small town since they likely would be more familiar with the small town geography and/or have it on their radar more that they were giving me the correct ballot. My Mom told me that there are actually two separate polling locations in our small town, one for people in the city itself and one for people in the township. So yeah if that is still the case that would make it less likely to have gotten the incorrect ballot I think, but idk.

Still tricky for me to understand since I gave them my address that should show I am in the city and not in the township, idk. I don’t get how I received a township ballot when my address shows I am in the city. I am still a bit upset with the workers there but yeah mistakes can happen and it is what it is, but ugh, just frustrating. Hope my mayor choice wins by a good amount and it doesn’t come down to one vote. It wasn’t even on my radar to make sure everything was on my ballot that should be there but I guess moving forward I will ask to make sure I am getting a city ballot and not a township ballot, and also try to mentally make note that everything that should be on my ballot is on there before turning it in.

Got Medical Assistance and MHCP and I have to choose between Blue Plus, Healthpartners, or my automatic assigned plan Medica if I don't choose one soon. Recently had a cut of hours AND turned 26 so I'm no longer under a parent's insurance.

Which one is the best to choose?

I'm hoping there might be some lawyers in this group that can help me with an issue I'm facing, or some recommendations on employment lawyers I could contact.

I am pregnant and due in November. I am currently contracting with a company and have been there over 3 years, but I am a W2 employee of the agency I am contracting through. I was recently informed that they will not be saving my position and hiring me back after my maternity leave. My contract goes through the end of the year and they won't renew while I am out. They plan to hire a permanent replacement. My direct employer, the contracting agency, will also not be keeping me "employed" since I won't have an active contract.

Several people have told me they don't think this is legal, but I'm not sure how things work due to contracting while also being considered a W2 employee. I'm also worried this makes me ineligible for the MN paid family leave coverage. Plus, I had taken out short and long term disability through my direct employer that I will lose and not have access to. Someone mentioned I might be eligible for unemployment as a result, but I wasn't sure if that would really be true. We'll be ok financially, but I would love to not have to use a bunch of our savings when we had planned for some of my salary to be covered.

Just wondering if anyone can help with recommendations on what my options are. TIA for any help people can provide.

Higher gas prices and affordability concerns are the result of President Donald Trump’s Iran war. Here’s how Minnesota’s US Senate candidates feel about it—one of whom has had an apparent change of heart.

Rep. Danny Nadeau for 34A in Champlin, William Beck for 41B in Hastings, and Rep. Andrew Meyers for 45A in Tonka Bay all have pretty conservative histories. Yet, they're running their campaigns as moderate Republicans in purple districts.

Recently reported by CNN’s KFILE, Tafoya lied in a local radio interview when asked about her past comments that she is embarrassed to live in Minnesota. But old Twitter archives–along with other more recent video clips–tell the truth.

Is it a hard ‘ch’ (like cheese), or a soft ‘ch’ (like chef)?
