ST. PAUL—A tweaked 2016 tax proposal that never made it into law is back. Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton said on Thursday, Jan. 5, that his plan calls for $230 million in a variety of tax cuts and $70 million in new spending for things such as increased state aid to local governments. It is based on a bill most legislators backed last year, but Dayton opted not to sign after a $101 million mistake was discovered in it. The Democratic governor claims nearly a half million people would receive tax relief from his plan, announced on the third day o...
The video was humiliating and racist, and it had spread to other students at the speed of the Internet. So the black teenager who was called racial slurs while he ate chicken took matters into his own hands, with violent results. It was early October, a few weeks after the start of classes at Saucon Valley High School, 75 miles north of Philadelphia. The 16-year-old student was at a pep rally, participating in a chicken wing eating contest, his attorney said. Nearby, a white student, a 14-year-old underclassman, pulled out his phone and...
