AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Clean Water Funding: The Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources approved about $6.7 million in competitive Clean Water Fund grants to cut phosphorus, sediment, nutrients and bacteria across lakes, streams and groundwater through projects like stormwater treatment, erosion control and well sealing. Medicaid Fight: Minnesota is pushing back as federal rules tighten the definition of “medical frailty,” which could determine who can be exempt from new Medicaid work requirements; Democratic-led states also sued the Trump administration over the narrower guidance. SNAP Data Lawsuit: The U.S. Justice Department sued Minnesota over refusal to turn over SNAP data requested by USDA, arguing it’s needed to check for fraud and waste while Minnesota says the demand threatens privacy. Heat & Safety: A major Midwest heat wave is driving cancellations and cooling-center openings, including Winona Health opening its clinic lobby as a place to cool down. Weather Watch: Forecasters are tracking a “ring of fire” severe storm setup that could bring damaging winds, large hail and tornado risk into Minnesota and the Upper Midwest around the July 4 weekend. Local Health/Community: Winona Health’s cooling-lobby move highlights how Minnesota communities are responding as extreme heat hits. Sports (Minnesota): The Twins play the Astros in Houston Tuesday, and the Astros’ Jeremy Peña is set to return to the injured list with a mild left calf strain.
