| | We’ve been here before: With Walz maneuvering, there’s another Minnesotan in the VP mix |
Gov. Tim Walz is on the short list for likely Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris as she chooses a running mate. Walz is just the latest Minnesota politician to get a hard look for the No. 2 job.
Walz follows past Minnesotans who have been seriously vetted for the vice presidential position: Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey and Walter Mondale, who were selected, and Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who were not picked. | |

| | State’s 1st legal cannabis dispensary celebrates anniversary, seeks new ways to reach customers |
Last August, Red Lake Nation opened NativeCare, a seed-to-sale cannabis operation. The state’s first cannabis dispensary has hired new leadership and will embark on a campaign to educate customers about the benefits of cannabis.
“Cannabis is a stress reliever. And most people who tend to be open to cannabis, you know, tend to be a little bit more laid back. And so, it’s very much a good work environment where people can have fun — and also do good work,” said Kari Taylor, the CEO of NativeCare. | |
