In the face of hatred, Dr. King inspired us to build a society filled with hope, kindness, and love for our neighbor.
Together, we must continue to work to enact his vision of equal opportunity for all.
Today, we lower our flags in honor of Burnsville Officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge, and Firefighter Adam Finseth.
It is with deepest gratitude that our state recognizes their service to, and sacrifice for, their fellow Minnesotans. Minnesota stands with Burnsville.
