Bob CollinsI’m driving back East for the funeral of my father-in-law, who died early this morning. While I’m away, Than Tibbetts and — if you’re lucky — Julia Schrenkler will be News Cutting.

About the blogger
Bob Collins
bcollins@mpr.org • @newscutBob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
