Public Hearing to be Held on PowerOn Midwest 765-kilovolt Transmission Line

Martin County residents will have a chance to voice their opinions on the proposed PowerOn Midwest 765-kilovolt transmission line during a public hearing next Thursday, November 12th, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Fox Lake Event Center in Sherburn. The proposed line would cross southern Minnesota, including Martin County, as part of a route connecting South Dakota to Dakota County. The project needs approval from the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, which is seeking public input on its necessity and potential environmental impacts. The hearing will include opportunities for residents to speak and ask questions. The project has already faced opposition from local landowners and the Martin County Board. Additional hearings will be held November 10th in Windom and November 16th online. Written comments will be accepted through December 7th. Comments should reference docket number C-N-25-117.

Local School Board and Referendum Results

(Undated) In local school board elections the MCW school district elected Paul Schoen, Sam Meixell and Brandon Clarke to the board. In Fairmont there were three running for the School board so Michael Edman, Jen Harris and Betsy Tino will serve the Fairmont School District. Jackson County Central elected Kylla Hummel, Nolan Schuller and Shelly Hotzler to the board and the school referendum passed at JCC by slim margin of 132 votes. The referendum replaces a current $460 per pupil funding level and increases it to $1460 per student. School officials warned that drastic reductions would have had to take place had the measure not passed. Mark Franta, Kyle Zierke, and Brice Hanson won their school board election for the Blue Earth Area School District.

Finstad hoping the numbers are wrong

NEW ULM, Minnesota — Congressman Brad Finstad trailed by roughly 300 votes in his re-election campaign but delayed conceding to Rochester school teacher Jake Johnson. It was believed that Finstad, at home on his New Ulm farm, was weighing a request for a recount. With the last precinct reporting at 2:30 a.m., the margin was 49.99% to 49.89% in Johnson’s favor. According to Minnesota law, a recount can take place if the difference is less than 0.25%. Johnson’s lead was 0.10% . The district spans Minnesota’s southern-most counties from the Wisconsin border to the South Dakota border.

Fired executive director sues Le Sueur city, HRA over claims of discrimination

The former executive director of the Le Sueur Housing and Redevelopment Authority is suing the city and claiming that her May 15, 2024, firing violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. Melissa Huntington, through her attorney Adam N. Froehlich, of Mankato, says she disclosed several mental health diagnoses, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorder and recurrent major depressive disorder to board members after receiving a negative performance review and the board did not take adequate steps to provide accommodations. The complaint was filed June 29 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. Following the review, Huntington formally disclosed her diagnoses and told the authority board she needed reasonable accommodations in order to meet the board’s expectations, the lawsuit states. According to the complaint, Huntington’s evaluation by the board, which was conducted on Nov. 15, 2023, showed she needed to improve her “overall management performance,” “communications/relationship with the HRA board,” “staff supervision and overall performance of HRA staff,” “financial management and project management” and “achievement of goals set by the HRA board.” The review contained several comments, including that Huntington was “unprepared,” “relied on calling other (executive directors) and HUD personnel to complete tasks that she should be able
