Most of the participants work for the Minnesota Department of Health, which is cutting 170 jobs due to federal budget cuts.

And Gov. Tim Walz visited Philips Image Guided Therapy today, a medical manufacturing facility in Plymouth. The company is planning an expansion, backed by $3.5 million in state funding.
