  • Legislative Update: Back to Work

    Representative Matt Grossell|Apr 16, 2018

    We are back at work in St. Paul following our brief break for Easter and Passover.

Back at the Capitol this week I presented a number of my bills to crack down on criminal sexual conduct and child pornography in the Public Safety Committee this week. They were held over and will be considered as we continue to put together a public safety proposal this session. Buffer Law Comment...

    Apr 16, 2018

    CHICAGO – April is the beginning of severe weather here in the Midwest, and floods, storms and tornadoes are threats to take seriously and prepare for. But not all disasters have to be record-breaking or historic to be catastrophic to your family. What about an accidental house fire that destroys your home and all of your belongings? Or a sump pump failure that damages your home’s electrical, water heater and furnace, leaving feet of contaminated water in your basement? “Even if you have insurance coverage after a disaster, you may wait weeks...

  • It's no longer a blizzard, but we set a snowfall record for April (and more snow's coming)

    Apr 16, 2018

    The Twin Cities emerged from a blizzard-y Saturday with a snowfall record for the month — and it ain’t over yet. The 14.9 inches of snow reported at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport since Friday set a new record for the largest April snowstorm on record and pushed the monthly total snowfall to a new record, too. https://www.twincities.com/2018/04/14/as-blizzard-area-grows-wind-and-whiteouts-close-roads-and-delay-flights/...

  • Wild show they can be physical, too, in blowout win over Jets

    Apr 16, 2018

    After being pushed around nearly 500 miles from home and returning to the Twin Cities down 2-0 in a best-of-seven series, it was reasonable to wonder whether the Wild could actually hang with the rival Winnipeg Jets. Heck, hulking Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien singlehandedly got into the head of every player inside the Wild locker room with his physical play. Everyone remembered his hit on Joel Eriksson Ek in Game 1 and his hit on Mikko Koivu in Game 2. https://www.twincities.com/2018/04/15/wild-show-they-can-be-physical-...

  • High schools: Lousy weather leaves spring teams frustrated, scrambling

    Apr 16, 2018

    Bunt competitions and bowling outings. Fly-ball drills in parking lots. Indoor games when possible. Endless winter is testing the patience and ingenuity of spring coaches as Minnesota’s high school sports schedule remains frozen in place with another round of sleet and snow — as much as 12 inches — in the weekend forecast. https://www.twincities.com/2018/04/13/high-schools-lousy-weather-leaves-spring-teams-frustrated-scrambling/...

  • Trump declares 'Mission Accomplished!' with Syria airstrikes as Assad holds on to power

    Apr 16, 2018

    WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump declared “Mission Accomplished!” Saturday while the Pentagon said its initial assessment was that a powerful pre-dawn missile barrage by the United States, Britain and France had “degraded” but may not have fully destroyed Syria’s chemical weapons stockpiles. Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, told an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council — the fifth in a week — that Trump was “locked and loaded” to order another punitive attack if Syrian President Bashar Assad uses chemical...

    Apr 16, 2018

    LOWELL, Mass. — On Sunday, Oct. 1, the first day the application became available online, Ben Lara sat down at the computer in his bedroom to apply for federal student financial aid.

  • New Mexico's Largest Cyber Charter School Loses Appeal to Stay Open

    Apr 16, 2018

    New Mexico's education chief has decided not to renew the charter contract of the state's largest online charter school, and a spokeswoman for the New Mexico Public Education Department told the Santa Fe New Mexican that the school will close in June. This is notable because online charter schools, most of which are run by one of two national companies based on the East Coast, rarely shut down even when plagued with poor performance or financial mismanagement Education Week found in an analysis of more than 10 years of news stories, state...
