MILLE LACS/SHERBURNE — Election Day was one to remember this year as millions of voters made their voices heard at the polls.

Property taxes increase 3% in proposed Sauk Rapids 2027 budget

SAUK RAPIDS, Minn. — While the overall levy for the property tax in Sauk Rapids is planned to increase in 2027, the actual rate is planned to decrease slightly — which doesn’t mean taxpayers will pay less in the new year. The tax capacity for the city went up nearly 4% in the past year, Finance Director Jack Kahlhamer said during the Nov. 9 city council meeting, and the levy is planned to go up 3%. “But,” he said, “again, the tax capacity increase is really almost all existing homes.” The tax capacity can be impacted by new construction but also increases in existing property values, which could lead to higher costs for homeowners. According to the proposed budget, this is compared to 2026’s increased level of nearly 9% from the previous year with about the same increase to tax capacity. More: 3M agrees to pay billions over toxic chemical claims Utility fee increases in Sauk Rapids The other potential increase for homeowners are the public utilities and services fees. Utility fees overall will increase about 5% to 6% into the new year, according to the proposed budget. Most of the increase come from storm water fees, which will see

Royalton's season ends with loss in section championship

Royalton football was looking to upset the No. 1 seed Osakis Nov. 6 at the Fargodome in the Section 6AA football championship. After defeating the Silverstreaks earlier in the season, 36-34, the Royals were looking for another win to earn a trip to the state tournament. Unfortunately for Royalton, Osakis came out on top this time, defeating the Royals 42-18. Royalton was unable to slow down the Silverstreaks’ offense as Osakis scored five touchdowns of 30 or more yards. The Royals never led in the game as Osakis continued to put points on the board. The teams were tied 6-6 after the first quarter after neither team converted on its two-point attempt. Royalton trailed 14-6 at halftime but came out of the break with the ball and cut the Osakis lead to 14-12. However, that was as close as the Royals would get as the Silverstreaks pulled away to secure the 42-18 victory and advance to the state tournament. Royalton’s offense was led by Max Vannurden with 11 carries for 59 yards and two touchdowns. Vannurden also had one reception for 19 yards. Connor Boser rushed the ball 12 times for 21 yards while completing eight of 12 passes for

Waite Park city hall to reopen after more than a year of construction

WAITE PARK, Minn. — Those looking to do business with Waite Park city officials will soon no longer need to go to the public works building by the Ledge Amphitheatre. The newly renovated government center, which will include offices for Waite Park’s police and fire departments, city administration and city council will open its doors Nov. 20. More: 2 St. Cloud-area grocery stores named among the best Waite Park City Administrator Shaunna Johnson said city offices will be closed on Nov. 18 and 19 and will take business again from its new building the following day. The 80,000-square-foot building will feature a large multi-use space that will have dividers set up so it can be used as training rooms for the police department, hold city council meetings and other events the city might need. Waite Park's police department expects to see a 15-person staffing increase from 2023 to 2043, with patrol units alone jumping from 18 officers to 28. One report states the Waite Park Police Department would likely have had a nearly 20,500-square-foot space deficiency in 2040 if the expansions didn’t occur. Voters approved a referendum in 2023 for a sales tax increase to help pay for the $25
