St. Paul teachers and school district officials are readying safe places for the district’s 38,400 students to go next week in the event of a labor strike. Negotiators plan to meet over the weekend in hopes of reaching labor deals for the district’s teachers and two other bargaining units.

As a way to “punish” her 13-year-old nephew, a South St. Paul woman allegedly struck the boy in the face repeatedly one day early last year. She also regularly withheld food from the boy and his brother by locking them in a bedroom or tying them to a pole in the basement, according to Dakota County prosecutors. https://www.twincities.com/2018/02/08/south-st-paul-woman-accused-of-tying-up-children-abusing-them/...
By all accounts, Christopher Endicott was a buttoned-up middle school principal in burgeoning Lakeville. Allegations leveled against him in charges filed Thursday paint a different picture, one of a man described by police as having a “history of stealing identities and manipulating his victim’s information and accounts.” https://www.twincities.com/2018/02/08/lakeville-principal-accused-of-stalking-police-investigator/...
If this year’s sneezing, nose blowing and aching around Minnesota seems louder, grosser and more painful, it’s because we are in one of the worst flu seasons in years. More people have already been hospitalized this winter than in most years this past decade — and we still have several weeks to go. https://www.twincities.com/2018/02/08/minnesotas-flu-season-one-of-the-worst-in-years-health-officials-say/...
Community meetings about the St. Paul police department’s revised use-of-force policy will begin next week. Last month, the police department released a draft copy of the new policy, which spells out when officers can use force. It’s dramatically different from the current policy and police officials have said the changes are a way to formalize a cultural shift underway in recent years. https://www.twincities.com/2018/02/08/st-paul-police-to-hold-3-community-meetings-about-revised-use-of-force-policy/...
The Republican turnout for Tuesday night’s precinct caucuses in Minnesota was the lowest it’s been since at least 2002, the farthest back for which numbers were available. Just fewer than 11,000 people attended the GOP gatherings, compared with 14,000 in 2014 and nearly 20,000 in 2010, the last time there was an open seat in the governor’s office, according to figures the party has reported to the state. https://www.twincities.com/2018/02/07/gop-caucus-turnout-was-lowest-ever-measured-here-are-4-theories-why/...
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government stumbled into a midnight shutdown Thursday as a rogue Senate Republican blocked a speedy vote on a massive, bipartisan, budget-busting spending deal, protesting the return of trillion-dollar deficits on the watch of Republicans controlling Washington. A shutdown — technically a lapse in agency appropriations — became inevitable as GOP Sen. Rand Paul repeatedly held up votes on the budget plan, which is married to a six-week government-wide spending measure. The Senate recessed around 11 p.m. with plans to recon...
BEMIDJI -- An emotional and largely symbolic sentencing hearing brought legal proceedings against Brandon Bjerknes to a close Thursday.
