On a girls’ golf team with precious little experience, they are young veterans who planned to help the team try and climb the standings in conference play.

A post on The Chronicle’s Facebook page this past week reached a new level of disbelief. Not to be outdone, Republicans in the Minnesota House are challenging its incredulity.

Gov. Tim Walz extended the stay-at-home order until May 18. Many had hoped the order would be lifted but the ongoing growth in the number of coronavirus cases without widespread testing statewide left Gov. Walz feeling the best interest of Minnesotans – all Minnesotans – was to extend the order.
