After spending weeks applying to dozens of jobs, Ruby Coty felt hopeless. She’s used to nailing interviews, mostly for $15 to $18 an hour service jobs. But she’s always waiting for the other shoe to drop—her background check coming back red. kAm“x H2D 8@??2 8:G6 FA[” D2:5 r@EJ] “x 925 D66?

Earlier this year, the Northfield City Council decided not to build a new water treatment facility, citing expensive construction costs. The city council rejected plans to spend about $83 million on a new plant in January. Northfield, located just south of the Twin Cities, has been grappling with water quality since 2019. That’s when the city discovered its drinking water had more manganese than recommended by the Minnesota Department of Health.

A third person who was charged in the Nudieland mass shooting that killed one person and injured six others pled guilty on Monday at the Hennepin County Courthouse. Elias Thompson, 21, admitted guilt to aiding the shooter, 18-year-old Dominic Burris, and his accomplice, 18-year-old Cyrell Boyd. Prosecutors say Thompson helped house Burris and Boyd after the Aug. 11, 2023, shooting to avoid police detection and conspired with the two teens to hide evidence.

Had to switch up my regular reporting process to add some fun and flair to this feature I produced on Devon Monroe, one of Minnesota's biggest LGBTQ stars in pro wrestling. It was challenge to bring this to life, but so fun and rewarding! https://t.co/9argvzrfzI
