ST PAUL, Minn. A state lawmaker late Monday acknowledged his constituents deserved an explanation days after questions began to swirl around whether he lived in Minnesota or inside his district following a traffic stop. As much as I hate how recent coverage of this issue has been about me, I recognize I have an obligation to my constituents, and owe them an explanation, Rep. John Thompson, a St. Paul Democrat, wrote in a statement distributed by House DFL Caucus staff Monday night.

Red Wing, MN (KROC AM News) - A late night house fire in the Red Wing area forced firefighters to battle the elements as well as the blaze.
The Red Wing Fire Dept was called out at 11:30 PM Saturday to the nearby town of Wacouta. Crews arrived to find flames coming from the roof of the 3 story residence. All the occupants were able to safely escape.
Red Wing Fire Chief Mike Warner says the crews “encountered significant difficulties extinguishing the fire due to the extreme outside air temperature of -17 degrees as well as a lack of fire hydrants in the area.”
