📰 News we're reading

• Carlton County caps tax levy increase at 3.9% (pinejournal.com) — Carlton County's decision to cap its 2027 tax levy increase at 3.9% will directly shape what Cloquet homeowners pay in property taxes. For a typical Cloquet resident, the county currently collects 35% of the bill, with the Cloquet School District and city adding nearly half more, so this smaller-than-proposed hike could ease some pressure on local budgets.
   

• Prep sports: Cloquet/Esko boys soccer controls Denfeld, Esko volleyball sweeps Cloquet (northernnewsnow.com) — Cloquet sports fans saw a strong night of action, with Cloquet/Esko boys soccer blanking Denfeld 3-0 in Cloquet for their sixth shutout of the season. On the volleyball court, Cloquet's Lumberjacks started strong but ultimately fell in four sets to a surging Esko squad, which notched its 14th win.
