state + local

A state government shutdown would leave thousands without a job and ripple across Minnesota in ways that even today are hard to fathom. That’s why Whistleblower needs your help.

Do you depend on a government service that’s suddenly no longer available? Has it disrupted your work, your play, your near-term or long-term plans? Have you been surprised by a shuttered office, a defunct government web site, a hotline that’s no longer answered?

Tell us about it by sending an e-mail to whistleblower@startribune.com or calling (612) 673-4271 and we’ll use your feedback to inform our coverage of the shutdown. We want your story, even if you don’t care to leave your name.
