The US census bureau released information on Minnesota's population and racial make-up today (Wednesday). Minority populations---particularly Hispanics---are growing. The 2000 census figures show the number of people indentifying themselves as Hispanic grew more than two and a half times in the past ten years. The census also shows growth in MInneapolis and St. Paul, but the growth was far outpaced by increases in the surrounding suburbs. Minnesota Public Radio's Art Hughes reports.
