Our sympathies to the family of Judith (Anderson) Miller, who passed away peacefully on March 30, 2024, in Cromwell. She was 104 years old. Judy was well-known for her mastery of the organ and piano.

Carlton County joined a chorus of county-based officials from across the state Tuesday, calling on the state department of revenue to pump the brakes on proposed changes to tax collections on utility companies. “Currently these types of properties are responsible for nearly 20 percent of all taxes paid in the county,” board chair Susan Zmyslony wrote in a letter to the Minnesota Department of Revenue. “So it is a great concern to us as to how any changes could affect our county.” The state legislature directed the department in 2021 to review...
