Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson is warning of a wave of newer, modern variants of traditional phone scams that are creating a surge in fraud and identity theft plaguing Minnesotans and people across the United States. Swanson said innovations in technology — notably, software capable of “caller ID spoofing” — enables scammers to mask their identities and locations in more sophisticated ways. By using these new tools, scammers impersonate local numbers or legitimate businesses, which a...

Fix what we’ve already got. That’s the clear message from Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton and the Republicans who control the Minnesota Legislature when it comes to spending on public works projects this year. Senate Republicans joined the chorus Wednesday when they unveiled their plan to borrow $825 million to pay for maintaining hundreds of aging state-owned buildings, repairing roads and bridges, fixing worn-out sewer and water systems and preserving other state-owned property — all before they spend a ton of money on glitzy new projects. https...

After 10 years of hard work — which i...

When Native American artist Damon Neal of Texas begins a project, he always is reminded of his own roots. "I am a full-blood Native American Indian. I derive my subjects from nature, my dreams and my visions, a "spiritual journey" through my faith and my culture – a personal release from the everyday world." Neal, a native of Plano, Texas, a Dallas suburb, is a member of the Jicarilla (hick-uh-ree-ya) Apache tribe, but says he also has the Cherokee, Wichita, Caddo and Delaware tribes in his b...
Today, Minnesotans and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) appear to have been subjected to a “spoofing” attack. Spoofing is a practice used to falsify the telephone number or name on caller IDs to disguise the identity of the real caller.

These calls have been designed to appear to come from MDH’s main phone number (651-201-5700). These calls are not being made by MDH, and MDH urges recipients of suspicio...
