  Minnesota’s new state flag design finalized
  
  Unless the Legislature takes action to undo the work, the new Minnesota flag will start flying on May 11. It features the shape of Minnesota in a deep blue and topped with an eight-point star facing north. The design also features a solid block of light blue to represent Minnesota’s water.
