GOVERNOR ORDERS FLAGS AT HALF-STAFF IN HONOR OF LATE POPE FRANCIS

Governor Walz has ordered flags in Minnesota to fly at half-staff to honor the life of Pope Francis who died Monday at age 88.  Governor Walz signed the order Monday which says all U.S and Minnesota flags at state buildings must fly at half-staff until sunset on the day of Pope Francis’ burial.  The Vatican said Francis died of a stroke that put him into a coma and led to heart failure.
