New rental repair ordinance gives St. Paul renters leverage
St. Paul voters overwhelmingly approved a new "right-to-repair" ordinance , handing tenants a lot more leverage over their landlords when something breaks in their rental housing. Yes, but: The real thrust of the ordinance won't be renters fixing washing machines themselves, but rather to compel their landlords to do it faster. Catch up quick: The Safe Homes St. Paul campaign pitched its proposal as a "break in case of emergency" solution for renters dealing with egregious neglect. Under the language , tenants will be able to deduct half-a-month's rent to pay for repairs if their landlord doesn't fix them after 14 days' written notice. What they're saying: Duluth enacted a similar ordinance a year ago, and the main effect has been to spur landlords into action so tenants don't contract out the work themselves, St. Paul campaign coordinator Cole Hanson tells Axios. "I don't know another business where you cannot respond to your customers for two weeks and stay in business," Hanson says. "Utilization is going to be low," predicts Minnesota Multi Housing president Cecil Smith, who opposed the St. Paul proposal. He says most property owners and managers are diligent about repairs.

Football: Ponies fall short against Prior Lake
SAVAGE — Seeking a fresh start in the postseason, some familiar challenges hampered Stillwater in a 28-13 loss to Prior Lake in the first round of the Class AAAAAA football playoffs on Friday, Oct. 30 at Prior Lake High School. The fifth-seeded Ponies (2-7) were locked in another tight battle through three quarters, but unable to make enough plays down the stretch — or avoid their opponents from seizing those opportunities. “Unfortunately, this feels like a broken record,” Stillwater coach Beau LaBore said. “It feels like most of the games that we’ve played.” The Ponies outgained Prior Lake (360-340), gained more first downs (26-14), and held a nearly 14-minute advantage in time of possession while running more than twice the number of plays (82 to 40), but were held scoreless in the second half as the Lakers (5-4) pulled away for their fifth straight victory after starting the season 0-4. Prior Lake’s reward is a road trip to top-seeded Moorhead (9-0) on Friday, Nov. 6 for a spot in the state tournament. The Spuds join Champlin Park (9-0) as the only remaining teams without a loss among the state’s largest schools. Stillwater moved the ball throughout the game against a
