- An arrest has been made in a high-profile infant death case in Minnesota that dates back to 2011. “Baby Angel” was discovered floating in the Mississippi River about seven miles south of Winona by boaters in September 2011. The newborn girl was found inside a bag containing a pendant, incense, and several angel figurines. Jennifer Baechle, a 45-year-old woman from Winona, is believed to be the mother of “Baby Angel” and is charged with two counts of second-degree manslaughter. DNA testing has played a significant role in the investigation.
- Governor Tim Walz delivered his seventh State of the State Address Wednesday night from the Minnesota House Chamber. Walz said, ” Our legislature is narrowly divided but I believe we can unify around those ideas: Security, opportunity, freedom. I believe we can continue to make Minnesota the best place to live, work and raise a family.” Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson says, ” we need to be listening to school boards, superintendents and small businesses, not doing these red herrings with the federal government and what the administration might be doing or what not.” The governor proposed budget cuts but said, ” We are not walking away from the commitments we’ve made. To our schools, to our health care, to green energy, to public safety, to feeding our kids, and to taking care of seniors.” House Speaker Lisa Demuth says Republicans will not agree to any tax increases.
