ABC's The Note is reporting that Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee will be in Minnesota on Tuesday to attend the Education Commission of the States' three-day meeting.

The Wall Street Journal has a column authored by several conservatives, including former Congressman Vin Weber, calling for a comprehensive solution on immigration. They write, "The best way -- the only way -- to realize President Reagan's vision is through comprehensive immigration reform legislation. We urge the House and Senate to work out their differences and meet the demand of the American people that we act on this critical issue in a comprehensive way."

Finally, the Los Angeles Times also has a story on how China's booming economy is helping Eveleth, Minnesota.

"Thanks to a hefty investment from China, the town's leading employer was able to reopen its doors, putting more than 400 people back to work just before Christmas in 2003. The resurrection of the Evtac iron ore mine has provided a boost for this struggling northeast Minnesota community, whose main street boasts the world's biggest hockey stick, a nod to the town's role as the birthplace of American hockey."
