St. Louis County Deputies are investigating a series of burglaries that occurred at cabins in unorganized township 57-16 near Makinen. One person has been arrested and charged. Deputies continue to look for a a snowmobile that was stolen from one of the properties.

A pandemic-era rule that was put in place to ensure continuous insurance coverage for people receiving Medical Assistance (MA) is soon ending. This means the annual eligibility renewal requirement will again resume. Restarting the process will create challenges for recipients, county staff and others tasked with helping complete renewals, and for service providers who may belatedly learn a customer has lost insurance.

To help providers and community partners understand the situation and better prepare for it, St. Louis County Public Health and Human Services staff will hold two townhall meetings later this month.
