Chipping Away at Public Safety

Chip! Chip! Chip! That is the sound of the subtle but constant attack by State officials on public safety, rule of law, and accountability. The most recent attack is the Sentencing Guidelines Commission (“SGC”) proposal to eliminate Hernandizing multiple felony offenses. This means that offenders being sentenced on the same day for multiple felony convictions will be treated like a first-time offender with one felony conviction. Recently, the look back period for calculating felony criminal history points was reduced from 15 years to 10 years. In a recent Fillmore County case, this change reduced a defendant’s criminal history score from 7 points to 2 points. Chip! Chip! Crack! How about the legislative change that reduced a defendant’s probationary time for most felonies from 10 or 15 years to only 5 years? This was a significant reduction which now hinders probation’s ability to monitor a convicted criminal’s sustained compliance with the terms of his sentence. Similarly, the custody status point which previously added one or one-half criminal history point for crimes committed while on probation or parole was rendered meaningless. As of August 1, 2026, the Sentencing Guidelines Commission has removed custody status and prior juvenile adjudications entirely from calculating an offender’s criminal history score. An offender’s criminal history score is very important. Reducing the criminal history score significantly reduces the sentence that can be imposed by the Court. Chip! Chip! Crumble!

MN 1st Congressional District race: Narrow margin won’t automatically trigger a recount

Democrat Jake Johnson declared victory, leading incumbent Republican Rep. Brad Finstad by 323 votes, or 0.1%, in Minnesota's 1st Congressional District.

Aderman Hall pool currently needs $475,000 in repairs

The 112-year-old Aderman Hall pool at West Hills is in need of some updating. About 5,500 or more people use the West Hills pool annually for swimming lessons, water aerobics, family open swim and rentals, along with trainings for lifeguards and water safety instructors. “There’s really no practical indoor replacement in Owatonna for a pool,” Facilities and Fleet Director Patrick McDermott told the city council during its Wednesday study session. “The only other option — especially in the wintertime — would be the Owatonna Middle School, and that really does not have good access.” When the West Hills pool had to close in the spring for repairs, the local hotels with pools were contacted about availability for swimming lessons. “We got three responses with limited or no availability, and the remaining six did not respond,” McDermott said. “I think they just didn’t want the liability of making that a public pool within a hotel would be our assumption on that.” Large pool repairs history After its construction in 1914, the West Hills pool went about 84 years without record of major repairs. In 1998, a fiberglass pool liner was installed. In 2003, and ADA-compliant restroom and lift were installed thanks
