Gov. Tim Walz authorized state disaster assistance for six southern Minnesota counties following severe storms and floods earlier this summer. Walz says the state will provide funding and public assistance to help rebuild critical public infrastructure damaged in the storm. Documents from a lawsuit against firearms retailer Fleet Farm were made public Wednesday. The case was settled in February. Attorney General Keith Ellison's office sued Fleet Farm in 2022. It alleged that the retailer negligently sold firearms to straw buyers. Mike Lindell says he'll pay for a hand recount in the Republican governor primary that he lost by tens of thousands of votes.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Lindell is disputing last week’s election results after House Speaker Lisa Demuth handily won the Republican primary. Lindell trailed Demuth by more than 45,000 votes, meaning there will not be a publicly funded recount. Lindell says he’ll personally pay for one. The Secretary of State’s office says that will cost more than $800,000, and Lindell has until Monday to make a formal request and provide the money or a surety bond. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Klobucha r says she wants to break from the St. Paul status quo . Klobuchar has called for a full state government audit, a money-back guarantee if state permits come late, and bipartisan plans to reshape health care, housing and economic development. Gov. Tim Walz has publicly clashed with President Donald Trump, and Klobuchar says she would push back when Trump’s actions hurt Minnesota. Lisa Demuth, who is running against Klobuchar, says the only way to change the status quo in St. Paul is to elect a Republican. The mayor of New Hope is calling on state lawmakers to reverse a 2024 law that stripped cities of the power to shut down group homes. Only the state has that authority now. The law came after New Hope tried to close group homes tied to Sekou Dukuly, the subject of an MPR News and APM Reports investigation. New Hope Mayor John Elder says the state does not have enough staff to adequately monitor group homes. Minnesota gas prices are currently higher than the national average, according to Triple-A. St. Thomas economics professor Tyler Schipper says the U.S. war against Iran has disrupted oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Schipper says Minnesota usually tends to be a little below the national average because the state gets more oil from Canada that is refined locally. He says he would not be surprised if Minnesota prices fall below the national average next week.

An executive order Gov. Tim Walz signed Tuesday blocks copper mining near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. But whether the ban becomes permanent could depend on Walz's successor. El Niño is strengthening quickly, according to NOAA, and that could have big implications for Minnesota’s upcoming winter. A federal judge will hear arguments Wednesday on a request to upend Minnesota's new law banning use of AI to create certain nude images. The law passed this year seeks to punish use of AI technology that permits creation and distribution of fake images of people naked without their consent. Minnesota and U.S. vaccination rates declined while exemptions are at a record high, according to new data from the CDC. A new MPR News and APM Reports investigation is having a political impact in Liberia.

The Hopkins and Burnsville communities on Monday night mourned the deaths of two women and a 7-year-old girl who was the daughter of one woman and the granddaughter of the other. Police believe Nathan Brown killed his wife, their daughter and his mother. He was found with a self-inflicted gunshot. A Blaine City Council member and candidate for Minnesota House says her vehicle was covered with obscene photos over the weekend. Police say it was a juvenile matter. Voting opens Tuesday for residents on St. Paul’s west side to pick a new name for Cesar Chavez Street. The busy street is being renamed after the famed activist was accused of sexual assault. One parameter for the new name was that it could not honor a specific person. A former assistant Anoka County attorney appeared in Hennepin County court Monday for allegedly running an online sex trafficking ring. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says Andrea Sampson was an assistant attorney in the civil and family law divisions while she and three others trafficked women as young as 19.
