As the troops redeployed from the Capitol at the end of today’s official protests in St. Paul, the police marched down the protest route. My first clue that they weren’t on some way to a conflagration (yet) was when they started smiling and waving to us in the world headquarters of News Cut.
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
