Bluestem Prairie

Forum Communications newspapers in Fargo and Grand Forks report that lawmakers in Minnesota and North Dakota are listening to workers locked out by hardball management. Meanwhile, in a cruel twist, workers cleaning Target stores overnight were locked in, a violation of OSHA law.

Bluestem is an unabashed Minnesota River Valley partisan. We were born at the confluence of the Blue Earth and Minnesota Rivers, the bluffs above St. Peter were our playground, and since returning to the state, getting lost on township roads and granite outcrops.
