The big story this week in northern Minnesota is the sale of Cirrus Aircraft to the China Aviation Industry General Aircraft Company which is run by the Chinese government. Cirrus has facilities in Duluth and Grand Forks.
MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Duluth-based reporter Bob Kelleher about the latest on the Cirrus sale, updates on the PolyMet mining project, highways on the move in the Iron Range, and other news from his part of the state.
