"Even Chat GPT's quickie analysis -- which does not include performance and other myriad fees private investments charge -- immediately reveals the disclosed numbers are far too low to be believed.... So, the huge unanswered question is: How did the pensions, their auditors, lawyers, investment professionals, public stakeholders and state media somehow manage to overlook or hide -- for decades -- the obviously greater true fee amounts in an apparent brazen effort to make the costs look lower than they really were?"

"Beginning in 2026, Minnesota will implement a paid family leave program (PFL) ... The State of Minnesota will be requiring employers participating in the State's program to report PFL medical leave benefits on the employer's Form W-2 -- and this may implicate the definition of compensation in the employer's defined contribution retirement plans. Employers should review the definition of compensation in their retirement plan documents to determine whether any action is needed prior to 2026."

"Until recently, the State of Minnesota recognized marriage only between individuals of opposite sexes and did not officially recognize any sort of 'civil union' or 'domestic partnership' between same-sex partners. Legislation legalizing same-sex marriage ... took effect August 1, 2013.... The changes in the law require Minnesota employers to offer spousal benefits under both state and federal law to spouses in same-sex marriages, regardless of the state in which the marriage occurred."

79 pages. Excerpt from a critical evaluation of the report: 'The 2007 legislature required Governor Tim Pawlenty to 'convene a Health Care Transformation Task Force to advise and assist the governor regarding activities to transform the health care system, and to develop a statewide action plan... for transforming the health care system to improve affordability, quality, access, and the health status of Minnesotans.'

"Minnesota won the top spot on the list of healthiest states for seniors to live, followed by Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Iowa. Bringing up the rear, Mississippi was found to be the unhealthiest state for older adults, with Oklahoma, Louisiana, West Virginia and Arkansas following, in that order. The report is meant to become a benchmark against which to evaluate future efforts to improve the health of the nation's fastest growing demographic group -- adults 65 and older."

"Most Minnesotans who buy health insurance on their own are now paying 25 percent less in monthly premiums, thanks to the Premium Subsidy Program law passed by the Minnesota Legislature and signed into law by Governor Dayton. Throughout 2017, the state is picking up 25 percent of the premium for eligible Minnesotans. The discount starts when the individual's 2017 policy became effective."

Although paying out unused sick time is extremely rare in the private sector, it's common at all levels of government around the country. It's been the standard policy in Minnesota for at least 40 years, before state workers were unionized.
