概要

 In Minnesota, thousands gathered at the State Capitol in St. Paul on March 28 for the flagship No Kings rally, protesting federal actions under the Trump administration, with Governor Tim Walz addressing Operation Metro Surge and calling for justice amid reported deaths and trauma, according to KSTP News. Democrats criticized Republicans over failed gun votes, while Walz signed a bill allowing out-of-state hemp testing, per Minnesota News Network headlines from March 27. The legislature advanced omnibus bills on cannabis, human services, commerce, and public safety, as reported by the Minnesota House Session Daily.

Economically, Minnesota Management and Budget forecasts a stable outlook with a $3.7 billion surplus for fiscal years 2026-27, up $1.3 billion from November estimates, driven by improved revenue projections. St. Cloud ranks as the best Minnesota city to start a business, topping WalletHub's 2025 survey for access to resources, according to Develop St. Cloud. Governor Walz proposed a $10 million relief package for small businesses hit by the federal surge, via the Department of Employment and Economic Development. Lawmakers debate conforming to federal tax changes, with the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce pushing to reinstate the Pass-Through Entity tax.

In education, a bill seeks teacher retention funding, skilled trades classwork could yield grants and scholarships, and new Minnesota Department of Education opportunities leverage Long-Term Facilities Maintenance dollars for school roofing projects over $100,000 without voter approval, as noted by Widseth. Adult education saw 4.5 million student hours last year, with over 1,000 earning diplomas or GEDs, per South Washington County Schools. Lakeville is a finalist for the 2026 Minnesota Real Estate Awards in the City/County category.

No major recent weather events reported.

Looking Ahead: Watch for the May 1 nationwide day of action urged by No Kings organizers, legislative committee deadlines by late May, and decisions on Walz's supplemental budget and tax conformity.
