NEW: Minnesota rebuffs DOJ demand for voter rolls, says feds don’t have legal right to it --> https://t.co/QaomaMa3j7

@allengraetz As the story notes, Dems have some cards to play here as the bill needs 60 votes in the Senate. So we'll see!

@jawalker64 @CPRNews @StarTribune In St. Paul! Thanks Jeff; I’ll miss seeing you around the neighborhood

[Nathaniel Minor @nbminor]

Hello! A little news from me.

Next week is my last at @CPRNews. Later this month I will join the @StarTribune's politics team covering the Capitol.

Denver, Colorado and CPR have all been wonderful to me since I arrived more than a decade ago. I'll miss this place dearly.

[Nathaniel Minor @nbminor]

@kpottermn @CPRNews @StarTribune I’ll hold you to that!

[Nathaniel Minor @nbminor]

@KyleClark @CPRNews @StarTribune Thanks Kyle! Keep RTD honest for me while I'm gone.

[Nathaniel Minor @nbminor]

Oh, and support public media 📻✊

[Nathaniel Minor @nbminor]

But I'm very excited to join the Strib's growing newsroom and start telling the stories of my own people.

I'm sure I'll be back in Colorado from time to time -- especially if that train to Boulder ever starts rolling.

NEW: At least a dozen senior leaders have left RTD in recent years. Some say CEO Debra Johnson is why —> https://t.co/6e01u12MYF

[Nathaniel Minor @nbminor]

RTD's board last week approved a ~5% raise to take Johnson's salary to about $420,000 a year. It is scheduled to vote tonight on an 18-month contract extension.

NEW - Wyatts Towing is no more.

The towing giant has apparently sold to Elite Towing.

On Tuesday, the phone number listed for Wyatts rang to Elite Towing. An operator who answered the phone said “Wyatts Towing no longer exists.”

I had no answer for her in the moment; it turns out there is one a few miles ahead.

I hope she finds the poultry sandwich she’s looking for

[Nathaniel Minor @nbminor]

Woman in car in the middle of Colfax just stopped me, a pedestrian in crosswalk, to ask if there was a chic-fil-a ahead
