Our view: After Grand Marais shooting, a sensible step toward safety
There’s no way anyone, let alone a defendant just convicted of a crime, should be able to retrieve a gun from his car and then return to a courthouse and move freely about inside while shooting, as happened in December in Grand Marais.

Local view: Congress needs to pass multi-year funding plan for infrastructure
Those of us who live and work in the Twin Ports know the importance of a healthy infrastructure. Our roads, bridges, airports, railways and harbors are lifelines of commerce and industry and the backbone for our economic vitality. However, we have our challenges also, with an aging water- distribution system, crumbling parking ramps and a seemingly endless need for road closures due to maintenance on our major highways. As Americans head into the start of the summer travel season they get the chance to experience surface infrastructure problems first-hand.
