NEW EPISODE OF THE PODCAST!

The Nov. 8 resignation of Jason Hale as the director of the Cook County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is the latest example of stalwarts in local government resigning from their positions.

In this exit interview, of sorts, Hale says he is going to be working on housing projects in northeastern Minnesota, indeed starting his own company where he will work with municipalities and contractors across the region. Hale also talks about the EDA/HRA merger that was voted down in 2023, and what it was like working in a small town where his role was very public.

Minnesota DFL Celebrates Harris-Walz Ticket

ST PAUL – Today, the Minnesota DFL Party released the following statement after Vice President Kamala Harris announced she has selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.

DFL Chair Ken Martin: “The entire country is about to see why their friends from Minnesota can’t stop bragging about Governor Walz. By picking a servant leader born and raised in a small town who has dedicated his career to protecting freedoms and lifting up working families, Vice President Harris has chosen the perfect foil for JD Vance and his politics of resentment. Under Governor Walz’s leadership, Minnesota has built a model for how Democrats across the nation can both win elections and improve people’s lives. We could not be more excited to help bring the Minnesota magic to this campaign and to put Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the White House.”

The Shore Thing Episode 12: Cook County Newspaper Editor Brian Larsen - April 2, 2024

03/24/2024

The aurora borealis over Lake Superior from one year ago tonight. The data is actually looking really good for northern lights again tonight and in the coming nights. Unfortunately, the moon is bright tonight and clouds are rolling in and there's a blizzard warning ⚠️ for the next few days on the North Shore. Winter may have finally arrived ;)
You'll be hearing of more chances for northern lights in the near future, though. As the peak of the 11 year solar cycle nears "solar maximum" , activity causing the conditions for aurora will increase.
The event one year ago, pictured here, was a fantastic, varied display throughout the night.
