  • Construction on I-35W will bring major changes to your commute downtown

    Jun 6, 2018

    Major roadblocks are coming for commuters Friday night when the Minnesota Department of Transportation closes off the entrances from northbound I-35W to downtown streets. The closure, part of the $239 million rebuild of the state’s busiest freeway, will be in place for four months and force 200,000 drivers to find an alternate way into the city, or use the lone remaining ramp at 3rd Street/Washington Avenue to get downtown. http://www.startribune.com/construction-on-i-35w-will-bring-major-changes-to-your-commute-downtown/484...

  • Medicare insolvency date moved up by three years to 2026

    Jun 6, 2018

    WASHINGTON — Medicare will run out of money sooner than expected, and Social Security's financial problems can't be ignored either, the government said Tuesday in a sobering checkup on programs vital to the middle class. The report from program trustees says Medicare will become insolvent in 2026 — three years earlier than previously forecast. Its giant trust fund for inpatient care won't be able to fully cover projected medical bills starting at that point. http://www.startribune.com/trustees-warn-medicare-s-financial-probl...

  • Minnesota parents seek a statewide ban on child removals, allege abuses

    Jun 6, 2018

    A group of Minnesota parents has asked a federal judge to strike down Minnesota's child protection laws, saying they are overly broad and put children at risk of being removed from safe and loving homes. In a letter filed in federal court Tuesday, the parents are seeking a court order declaring that certain state laws that govern when and how children can be removed from their homes are unconstitutional and deprive families of due process. The growing parents' association, Stop Child Protection Services From Legally Kidnapping, said it has...

  • Milestone for US job market: More openings than unemployed

    Jun 6, 2018

    WASHINGTON — For the first time on record, the number of job openings in the United States exceeds the number of unemployed Americans — a trend that may soon give workers more leverage to demand pay raises. With employers struggling to fill openings, the number of available jobs in April rose 1 percent to 6.7 million from 6.6 million in March, the Labor Department said Tuesday. That's the most since records began in December 2000. http://www.startribune.com/milestone-for-us-job-market-more-openings-than-unemployed/484602671/...
