FOX 9 forecasts highs in the lower 50s from the Twin Cities to northern Minnesota on Saturday, with Sunday highs in the 40s up north and 50s in southern Minnesota. CBS Minnesota says high pressure will bring a dry, quiet week, with Monday near 60. FOX 9 says colder air is expected by the end of the work week.
The Spring Lake Park mayoral race ended in a tie, with incumbent Robert Nelson and Halyn Roth each receiving 1,401 votes, FOX 9 reports. Under Minnesota law a tie is settled by lot, so the city plans a random drawing of names at its council meeting on November 9 at 5:30 p.m. The candidate not drawn has seven days to request a publicly funded recount.
Brainerd voters rejected a school operating levy that would have raised about 5 million dollars a year for 10 years, KSTP and the Brainerd Dispatch report. KSTP says district leaders face a budget gap of more than 3 million dollars, and options under consideration include closing schools and eliminating positions; nothing is final.
