  • Arrests for drinking and driving soared statewide on Thanksgiving Eve

    Nov 27, 2017

    Law enforcement made more than 100 arrests for unlawful drinking and driving across Minnesota last night, more than triple the amount made on an average Wednesday, authorities say. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety reported via Twitter Thursday afternoon that 137 arrests took place statewide on Thanksgiving eve, a night now dubbed by some as “Blackout Wednesday” due to the seemingly increasing amount of pre-holiday partying that takes place throughout the night. http://www.twincities.com/2017/11/23/arrests-for-dr...

  • Franken's rising political star obscured by accusations

    Nov 27, 2017

    WASHINGTON — “Many of you have jobs, many of you have families,” Sen. Al Franken told Democratic leaders gathered on the eve of a hotly contested governor’s election in Virginia. After an expectant pause, he leaned into the microphone and added, “Ignore them.” Franken was jokingly beseeching activists to get out the vote the following day, in what ended up as a surprisingly decisive victory for Democratic candidate Ralph Northam. But the moment, barely two weeks ago, also underscored how high the one-time “Saturday Night Live...

  • In these St. Paul schools, kindergarten is the new preschool

    Nov 27, 2017

    A half-hour into a mini-lesson on writing, a Bruce Vento kindergartner approached his teacher to ask, “Now can I go play?” and then headed off to a shelf with wooden blocks. Matt Shimon used to correct his students: “Now you can go work,” he’d say. http://www.twincities.com/2017/11/24/in-these-st-paul-schools-kindergarten-is-the-new-preschool/...

  • Salary-cap analyst foresees Vikings QB Case Keenum commanding $15 million a year as impending free agent

    Nov 27, 2017

    Vikings quarterback Case Keenum has been one of the NFL’s biggest bargains this season. That should change in 2018. Keenum, making just $2 million, is 7-2 as a starter as Minnesota has rolled to a 9-2 mark. With Keenum an impending free agent, one salary-cap analyst estimates he could make more than seven times that amount next season. http://www.twincities.com/2017/11/25/salary-cap-analyst-foresees-vikings-qb-case-keenum-commanding-15-million-a-year-as-impending-free-agent/...

  • Trump says he passed on Time magazine's 'Person of the Year'

    Nov 27, 2017

    President Donald Trump says he’s not playing ball with Time magazine as it decides its Person of the Year. The magazine counters that Trump has it all wrong. In a tweet Friday as he spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Florida, Trump sounded dismissive of the honor he received last year and could well receive again. http://www.twincities.com/2017/11/24/donald-trump-time-magazine-person-of-the-year-interview/...

    Nov 27, 2017

    A judge has dismissed the last of three lawsuits challenging a Stillwater Area Schools decision to close three elementary schools. Anoka County District Judge Daniel O’Fallon wrote in his order earlier this week that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring the lawsuit, which alleged financial conflicts of interest and violations of the state’s open meetings law. http://www.twincities.com/2017/11/24/judge-rejects-last-of-three-lawsuits-against-stillwater-school-closings/...

  • Breaking: Indiana didn't set aside enough money for schools. Senate leader says a fix is 'top priority.'

    Nov 27, 2017

    State education officials are expecting a shortfall in school funding this year that could be as high as $9 million because state and local officials underestimated Indiana’s student enrollment. If the legislature does not act to increase funding, districts, charter schools and private schools that receive state vouchers could all get less money than they were promised this year. https://www.chalkbeat.org/posts/in/2017/11/21/breaking-indiana-didnt-set-aside-enough-money-for-schools-senate-leader-says-a-fix-is-top-priority/...

  • New York City school workforce grows, driven by 40 percent rise in teaching assistants

    Nov 27, 2017

    New York City’s public-school workforce grew 8 percent over the past decade, according to a new report, driven largely by the rising number of teaching assistants who work with preschool students and students with disabilities — two populations whose numbers have risen even as overall student enrollment declined. The education department employed about 131,200 people this June — an increase of 10,200 workers since July 2007, according to an analysis by the city’s Independent Budget Office released Tuesday.

  • The Vikings could be the first team to play Super Bowl at home

    Nov 27, 2017

    No team ever has played a Super Bowl in its own stadium. The Minnesota Vikings were an unlikely candidate to end that streak when Sam Bradford joined Teddy Bridgewater on their list of injured players. That left them turning to quarterback Case Keenum to try to save their season. http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/sports/4364505-vikings-could-be-first-team-play-super-bowl-home...
