Walz Human Services Plan, Council Meeting, and Spring Weather Lead St. Paul Headlines
St Paul, MN – March 11, 2026 – Gov. Walz unveils human services overhaul as City Council meets and spring rain moves into the capital city.
It’s a busy midweek in the capital city, with major policy proposals, public meetings, and shifting weather all making headlines.
Walz Proposes Human Services Overhaul
Governor Tim Walz was in St. Paul on Tuesday, March 10, to unveil a proposal aimed at reshaping Minnesota’s human services system. The plan focuses on improving service delivery and strengthening oversight, particularly amid ongoing concerns about fraud in public programs.
The announcement comes as state leaders review spending and accountability measures across several agencies. Lawmakers are expected to debate elements of the proposal in the weeks ahead at the Capitol.
City Council and HRA Meet Today
St. Paul’s Housing and Redevelopment Authority meets at 2 p.m. Wednesday, followed by a full City Council meeting at 3:30 p.m. at City Hall.
Items on this week’s agenda include housing and development matters, along with routine city business. Meetings are cablecast and streamed, giving residents a chance to follow along as decisions are made that shape neighborhood growth and city services.
Rain and Snow in the Forecast
Spring may be on the calendar, but winter isn’t done quite yet. A system that brought rain and snow to northern Minnesota earlier this week is expected to move south, with precipitation possible in the St. Paul area through midweek.
Forecasters say periods of rain — and potentially a rain-snow mix — could linger into Wednesday before tapering off. Drivers should watch for slick spots during early morning and evening commutes.
Looking Ahead
With legislative debates ramping up, local boards in session, and unpredictable March weather, St. Paul residents have plenty to keep an eye on this week.
