🗳️ U.S. Reps. Ilhan Omar and Michelle Fischbach survived primary election challenges, and former state Sen. Ann Johnson Stewart prevailed in a three-way DFL race for the single state senate seat on November's ballot. MPR News political reporter Clay Masters and several experts join Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer to break down these and more key races — and what they mean for Minnesotans.
💵Across the river, Wisconsin voters have rejected two proposals from the Republican-controlled legislature to restrict any governor's ability to spend federal money for expenses like disaster relief. Why it's a big win for Democrats and current Gov. Tony Evers.
🌊 And are Minnesotans loving their lakes to death? We're introducing a new series kicking off on Morning Edition to answer that question. MPR News correspondent Kirsti Marohn has spent months investigating how suburban-style development is changing Minnesota's lakeshores. She takes us out on the water in the Brainerd Lakes area for the project's first installation. |

🚣♀️ According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, we’ve lost about half of the state’s natural shorelines. And researchers say natural shoreline continues to disappear at an alarming rate. MPR News Host Angela Davis and her guests explore what we can do to prevent shoreline erosion , improve water quality and create more habitat for wildlife.
📞 And we want to hear from you, too. What changes have you noticed on your favorite lake in recent years? What questions do you have about what causes shoreline erosion and how to prevent it? Should natural shorelines become the standard rather than the exception? Call us at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828. |

| | Unchecked development, lax regulation push Minnesota lakeshores to the edge |
Development has destroyed nearly half the natural shorelines that help protect Minnesota lakes from erosion and pollution. Reversing that means convincing people that their vision of beauty is killing the thing they love.
“We are a land of 10,000 lakes,” said Paul Radomski, a longtime lake ecologist with the DNR. “We don't want to be a land of 10,000 impaired lakes.” | |
