	Minnesota nice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Minnesota nice is the stereotypical behavior of Minnesota residents to provide hospitality and courtesy to others.
		In recent decades, many have said that Minnesota nice is not as prevalent as it once was (certainly among some people born after 1980, who chafe at the stereotype and defy it), although many visitors from outside the state still report that Minnesotans are generally nicer than others around the United States.
		Minnesota, however, is reknowned for "warm-welcoming" of immigrants such as the Hmong, mostly through church groups.

		Minnesota is the northernmost of the 48 contiguous states (Alaska reaches significantly farther north), reaching to 49° 23' 04" north latitude, due to a small piece of the state known as the Northwest Angle.

	Immigration in MN Overview
		Minnesota is attractive to immigrants for the same reasons it is attractive to the rest of us: a strong economy, good quality of life, educational opportunities, and a thriving civic and cultural life.
		Even as they establish new roots and relationships in Minnesota, immigrants struggle to maintain close ties to relatives in their country of origin, often sending a portion of their incomes back home where economic opportunities are scarce.
		Minnesota is also home to the nation’s only two Hmong state legislators, both of whom came to the US as child refugees.

	Bad Faith Trumps Minnesota Nice When It Comes To Stock Options (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing is a concept that most states, including Minnesota, read into almost all contracts, especially commercial or consumer contracts and one which provides the courts with latitude in determining whether the spirit of the contract was violated even if the letter of the contract was fulfilled.
		More importantly, most Minnesota courts will apply the doctrine where the issue is the wrongful denial of benefits or compensation and not an attempt to convert a plaintiff's at-will employment status into a for-cause standard.
		In a decision by the Eight Circuit filed in December of 2003, the Court considered a claim under Minnesota law that the employee was terminated for the purpose of denying him benefits, including the vesting of stock options and his incentive bonus.
