Editorial - Tax on advertising is wrong approach
While we appreciate Governor Mark Dayton’s willingness to put out a budget plan to address the state’s financial troubles, we have serious concerns about one part of it: placing a new 5.5 percent tax on advertising. It’s just not a good idea.

It's Our Turn: Invisible farmers, lumberjack angels and magic water fairies
February was our month, I recall thinking when I was a little girl. My dad and I were both born in February. Winter always reminds me of him. Cork-studded boots, flannel shirts, wool pants, the smell of pine needles and sawdust, that’s my dad – a logger.
