Amy Rutledge, Director, Corporate Communications at ALLETE | Minnesota Power, with an update on Minnesota Power and Superior Water Light and Power crews assisting in the power restoration in Florida after Hurricane Milton:

"We have 20 lineworkers and 7 support staff working in the Bay area.

We are assisting Tampa Bay Electric which has about 300K customers out of power.

We are among 6,000 crews who’ve been brought in to assist TBE with power restoration.

Our crews arrived late Friday night and have been hitting it hard over the weekend, working 16-hour days.

Biggest challenge is all the trees and vegetation the storm took down in residents’ backyards. Those have to be removed before our crews can access power lines and get the power back on.

Our crews tell us, residents have been very appreciative of their efforts.

You can check out all the great comments on our MP and SWLP Facebook sites from both folks here at home and in Florida."

Howie: Hermantown sets the standard for public education in Minnesota

In public education, trust is built through repetition — of performance, transparency and follow-through. Wayne Whitwam’s style reflects that understanding. He has avoided the temptation to overpromise, resisted reactionary pivots, and kept the district’s focus on instruction, people and systems.
