North Branch City Council continues budget discussions

Even though its preliminary budget for 2027 is set, and the final budget isn’t due until December, North Branch City Council continued to discuss next year’s budget as part of its meeting held Wednesday, Oct. 28. City Finance Director Sharon Wright led the discussion with updated budget numbers, including year-to-date figures for 2026. She also discussed the potential of adding three new positions in April rather than in January, which would create a slight reduction to the costs to the general fund. “So our increased cost to the general fund would come to $130,105 and the levy would come in at about a 7.91% increase over the prior year,” she said. She also brought forward information showing the median home value in the city increased by 7.91% to date. “That would increase the taxes on a house that’s of the same value by about $45 a year,” she said. Council member Jeff Goulet asked for an update on the city’s technology budget. Last year the city moved that budget, which in previous years was a line item for each department that used technology, into a separate area that encompassed all of the city’s technology needs. “It’s actually going up in

Local voters approve school funding increase

MONTICELLO — Public school districts across Minnesota, including those serving Monticello, Big Lake and Becker, will receive additional funding beginning next summer after voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment increasing annual payments from the state's Permanent School Fund.

Unofficial statewide results early Wednesday showed approximately 73% of voters supporting the measure, with 23% opposed and 4% leaving the question blank. Locally, the amendment received majority support in Monticello, Big Lake and Becker, as well as their surrounding townships, according to unofficial results from the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office.

Deb Haaland and Peggy Flanagan Mark Their Historic Wins in Intentional Earrings

Last night, the 2026 midterm election results delivered plenty of historic firsts. It was a particularly powerful night for Native American representation: Democrat Deb Haaland became the first Native American woman to be elected as Governor of New Mexico, while Peggy Flanagan—the current lieutenant governor of Minnesota—became the first Native woman to win the U.S. Senate seat in her state. (And there could even be a third victory for the Indigenous community today: at the time of publishing this story, Alaska’s Mary Peltola is currently leading the race for a Senate seat, too.)

Great River Energy replaces wind turbine in Maple Grove

The wind turbine outside of the Great River Energy headquarters in Maple Grove has been replaced with a more efficient turbine. The iconic turbine has been part of the Maple Grove landscape along Elm Creek Boulevard for many years. The old turbine was installed outside the headquarters building in 2007, and it generated electricity for the building for 18 years. Trevor Roy, Great River Energy Media and External Relations Lead, said, “The old turbine actually dates back to 1994, when it first went into service in the Netherlands, so it had a long and productive life before reaching the end of its useful life.” He said as the technology aged, the repairs became more difficult and costly. Replacing the turbine with newer technology was the way to go. Great River Energy actually reused parts of the old turbine. Roy said, “The new turbine isn’t taller. We’re actually reusing the existing tower and foundation, as well as much of the electrical infrastructure. The new turbine has a lower nameplate capacity, but newer technology allows it to generate electricity at lower wind speeds.” The old blades and the nacelle, which houses the mechanical components for the wind turbine, were removed the week
