📰 News we're reading

• East Bethel will keep flying 1983 flag (hometownsource.com) — East Bethel’s City Council voted 4-0 on May 11 to keep flying the 1983 Minnesota state flag on municipal property, rather than switching fully to the new design. Council members cited resident feedback, costs of the statewide flag change, and a desire for continuity, while acknowledging the community’s diverse opinions and the nonpartisan nature of the decision.
