Mesabi Daily News — Steve Raukar’s office in the courthouse here became a defacto museum over the years, chock full of boxes, photos, proclamations, cartoons, newspaper clippings and scrapbooks acquired while serving nearly three decades on the St. Louis County Board.
The longtime county commissioner wasn’t sure what to do with it all as he moves out to make room for his successor, Mike Jugovich of Chisholm, by the end of the month.
…
From art teacher to politics, Raukar ’74 graduated from St. Cloud State University with a teaching degree and plans to be an art teacher.
But he diverted to the state capital and a government job, working for the Minnesota State Arts Board in 1975, as a public information officer, and was part of the U.S. bicentennial planning efforts for towns across the state.
