After GOP win in Legislature, Republicans, DFLers swap digs

After GOP win in Legislature, Republicans, DFLers swap digs

For the first time in decades, Republicans will own the majority in the both the Minnesota House and Senate -- and with that shift in power comes a change in locations. Senate Republicans are moving from the cramped quarters of the State Office Building to State Capitol offices and Democrats are taking their place in the State Office Building. Members of the House are shifting floors in the State Office Building. The move continues through next week.

Photos: Fisher House is a haven for vets' families

The Fisher House has been a source of shelter and comfort for families of veterans since it was built adjacent to the Minneapolis VA Medical Center in 1995. The 10-bedroom shelter is one of 55 such houses around the world that serve families of military or VA medical center patients. In addition to a free room to stay, the Fisher House provides food, laundry and computer access to those visiting their loved ones. Perhaps the most valued benefit is the fellowship shared by the families. A second 20-room Fisher House is currently under construction next door and will open in February.
