The Minnesota Star Tribune has requested records of housing stabilization providers after the FBI searched several offices last summer.

A state agency subsequently suspended the entire Medicaid-funded program but declined to provide the records of the suspended providers.
Minnesota can release records on Medicaid providers accused of fraud — but won’t
The Legislature allowed a state agency to provide the records, but it has rebuffed requests from the Minnesota Star Tribune.

Photos from St. Paul today captured by MPR photojournalist Kerem Yücel. He filed them even after being hospitalized after being injured by a less lethal munition.

GNR is a pretty big get for Mystic Lake Amphitheater’s inaugural year; as opposed to the other two classic-rock shows announced there last week.

I love that new record by the Beths, playing the Palace on Sat. Also spotlighted for the coming week: Ike Reilly’s annual Thanksgiving Eve blowout, a cool tribute that ties Lead Belly to Minnesota, Samara Joy and twofer arena show by two big ‘80s hitmakers.

Charley will be back at Blue Ox Music Fest next year after getting rained out last time. It's a really fun and more eclectic lineup than usual imo. Whoever is playing, the June fest usually sells out, so don't sleep on tix if you want to go.
