• The bus does not go to the Clay County DMV, but a fix is coming soon (inforum.com) — If you rely on Matbus from Dilworth, reaching the Clay County DMV now means riding to the Dilworth Walmart and walking nearly a mile because the new DMV site isn't on a bus route. After a short-lived shuttle failed, officials plan an on-demand transit pilot in 2027 to restore easier access, though broader transit funding concerns remain.

• Minnesota Cops Declined to Chase a Stolen Car Seen Going Over 70 MPH, Then It Crossed a Moorhead Golf Course and Stopped in a Pond (theautowire.com) — A high-speed stolen car incident in Moorhead ultimately drew help from several agencies, including the Dilworth Police Department, before ending harmlessly in a golf course pond. The story compares that restrained response with a more aggressive 2014 chase and explains how Minnesota's evolving pursuit policies push officers to weigh public safety over catching suspects immediately.
