THE GRAND FORKS HERALD LOOKED AT THE MARKETPLACE FOR HEALTH INSURANCE IN MINNESOTA, AND AS ANOTHER YEAR OF ENROLLMENT APPROACHES, IT SOUNDS LIKE MINNESOTA RESIDENTS CAN EXPECT RISING PREMIUMS. THOSE AFFECTED MOST WILL BE THOSE WHO BUY AN INDIVIDUAL HEALTH PLAN, OR THOSE IN THE SMALL GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS. MOST PROVIDERS ARE ASKING FOR A 12%-26% JUMP IN MONTHLY PREMIUMS. THERE ARE SUBSIDIES THAT ARE EXPIRING THIS YEAR, ALTHOUGH THE LEGISLATURE COULD STILL REVIVE THOSE THIS FALL. CONFIRMED RATES WILL BE AVAILABLE IN OCTOBER AND OPEN ENROLLMENT BEGINS NOVEMBER 1.
THERE IS ALSO STILL A FEAR OF VA BENEFIT CUTS THIS YEAR AND REDUCED POWER IN COLLECTIVE BARGAINING FOR VETERANS. MIKE MOEN WITH MINNESOTA NEWS CONNECTION…
AGAIN, THE ROSEAU COUNTY BOARD MEETS THIS MORNING…
THEY WILL HEAR FROM WARROAD MAYOR TOM GOLDSMITH ON CREATING QUIET ZONES FOR RAILROAD CROSSINGS IN THE WARROAD AREA. THIS HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN DISCUSSED IN 2021.
RECENTLY, JOE OLAFSON HAD BEEN RE-APPOINTED TO A THREE YEAR TERM ON THE WARROAD RIVER WATERSHED DISTRICT.
THEY’LL TALK MORE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A PARCEL OF LAND IN SKAGEN TOWNSHIP GOING UP FOR BID. A PARTY WAS INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THAT LAND, BUT ACCEPTING SEALED BIDS IS THE ONLY WAY THE COUNTY CAN SELL THAT LAND.
AN AGREEMENT WAS RECENTLY REACHED TO SOLVE A WATER SUPPLY DISPUTE IN STRATHCONA. THAT WAS FOR CHRIS HAMNESS PROVIDING WATER FROM HIS WELL TO THE STRATHCONA SHOP.
