Good morning everyone,

Happy Tuesday. A great managing editor once said, sleep is most restorative on Tuesday nights — all you have to do is make it through the day for your due reward. In the meantime, read some news to get there a little quicker.

Top story is a snapshot of the March 4 fraud hearing at the capitol. Campus has a review of USG campaigns. Arts has a Rock ‘N’ Roll Ballet and a review of “The Bride!,” and opinions has online dating advice.

The day won’t start unless you do. Boogie on down for some stories.

Fleek regards,

Sam Hill | Managing Editor | [email protected]

Gov. Tim Walz and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison testified about their knowledge of the fraud and responded to accusations that state officials ignored warning signs and retaliated against whistleblowers.
