ST. PAUL — Minnesotans with unaffordable family insurance through an employer can enroll in Minnesota’s health insurance marketplace MNsure during a special enrollment period that closes in October. The employer-sponsored insurance must have a renewal date other than Jan. 1.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
