Reaching that rate would allow the state to achieve herd immunity, where a virus is unlikely to infect people who lack immunity because a majority of a population would have it. But Minnesota anticipates falling short. As of June 7, only 60% of Minnesota’s population is fully vaccinated.
Still, another group of people want the vaccine. They just don’t know where to find it, or if they can, they have a hard time getting to it. In Minnesota, as in many states, Black, Hispanic and Native American residents have received disproportionately fewer vaccine doses.
Meanwhile, Metro Transit, which provides transit service in the Twin Cities, had a surplus of buses available. The agency reduced service by as much as 40% as ridership plummeted during the pandemic.

Writing from the Window Seat, Iâm grateful to have amazing Sudbury and Manitoulin friends. These days, I get satisfaction from talking to each one by telephone. I long to hear their voices, and mine, allowing them to laugh at my New York accent, which they do.
If I canât reach them by phone, email, photographs and Facebook fill in the gaps. Seeing my online pals, sunsets and now tulips blooming in Little Current helps in my yearning for flying north to Sudbury and driving to Manitoulin.

The city of Bloomington took a large step toward ending the sale of all tobacco products on Monday night.
The Bloomington City Council voted 4-2 to end the sale of all flavored tobacco products, including menthol. That ban will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2022.
The ordinance also allows for the sunsetting or end of all tobacco licenses in the city, and the city decided to not issue any new tobacco licenses in the future.
Starting June 30, 2022, when a store with a tobacco license closes, that license will be eliminated. Through attrition, the city is working toward ending all tobacco sales.
