MARSHALL The COVID-19 pandemic left a lot of questions for local governments – including questions about how to make financial plans for 2021. Financial data for local governments show that across Minnesota, cities and counties have been planning to keep their budgets as stable as possible and control spending, the Minnesota Office of the State Auditor said last week.

But we should also keep vigilant, State Auditor Julie Blaha said at her office s State of Main Street address.
