School districts across the Iron Range and entire state will be receiving a little financial boost. A Minnesota Constitutional amendment on the state ballot was overwhelmingly approved by state voters Tuesday, increasing funding to all school districts from the Permanent School Fund. With 100 percent of precincts reported, the final vote was 2,067,164, or an estimated 72.91 percent in favor of the amendment and 666,208 no. The number of blanks was estimated at 101,783. “I was just pleased with the results,” Sen. Mary Kunesh, DFL-New Brighton, Minnesota Senate chief author of the amendment said. “It’s not going to fill all the holes in the bucket of education, but we know that every little bit helps. I think about the cost of transportation and the cost of diesel, so this is one way that Minnesotan’s were able to show their support for schools.” “I’m incredibly happy, Rep. Spencer Igo, R-Wabana Township, Minnesota House of Representatives chief author of the measure said. “That was an amazing show of support for the Permanent School Fund, but most of all for all the schools and the students in the state. Everyone came together to do good for all.” What is means is that each

Iron Range bucks the blue move, remains red

Republican candidates got shellacked in Minnesota and across the nation in Tuesday’s general election. The Minnesota House of Representatives, Minnesota Senate and U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate, all turned blue in a major political tidal wave. However, the core Iron Range remained red. Members of the Iron Range Republican political delegation all won re-election. None of the races were a landslide. But it was a far-different result than other areas of the state and nation. There’s no science to it, but Iron Range Republican delegation members believe there may be a variety of reasons why Iron Range voters continue to place their trust in them. “We did okay, but the state did not do okay,” Sen. Rob Farnsworth, R-Hibbing said. “I think I big part of it is the issues people are concerned about, even though a lot of them are out of our control.” Farnsworth defeated Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) candidate Kim (Kotonias) McLaughlin 21,773 to 18,222. While high fuel and food prices and the ongoing conflict with Iran may have played a role in voters’ decisions at the ballot box, local factors may also have factored into why Iron Range Republicans held onto their seats, say some of

A Second lawsuit filed against Hermantown over data center environmental review (St Louis County)
