  • Obama administration spent billions to fix failing schools, and it didn't work

    Jan 24, 2017

    One of the Obama administration’s signature efforts in education, which pumped billions of federal dollars into overhauling the nation’s worst schools, failed to produce meaningful results, according to a federal analysis.

  • LETTER: Shame on you, Senator Klobuchar!

    Jan 24, 2017

That’s where the ore body is located that the company wants to mine – on public land, YOUR land. Senator Amy Klobuchar has some explaining to do. She sits on a committee that directly oversees Forest Service actions involving land exchanges and was petitioned by over 350 Minnesotans this past summer to push for congressional hearings on the matter. But she totally blew us off. This particular slice of the Superior Nat...

  • Trump moves to pull U.S. out of big Asia trade deal

    Jan 24, 2017

    WASHINGTON — Charting a new American course abroad, President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the sweeping Trans-Pacific Partnership on Monday, using one of his first actions in office to reject a centerpiece of Barack Obama's attempts to counter China and deepen U.S. ties in Asia. Trump's move on trade aimed to fulfill a central campaign promise even as he appeared to be fixated on re-litigating the 2016 election. http://www.startribune.com/trump-begins-first-week-in-office-with-outreach/411494095/...
