Scott. “It was a productive meeting, and I am encouraged that the Senate and governor have joined the House, for th...

  • Another delay in The Wolfe's path: Homeless shelter opening prolonged until Feb. 1

    BEMIDJI—Funds were raised, a site was selected, construction began in the fall and Bemidji still waits for the Nameless Coalition for the Homeless' shelter to open. The coalition hopes to wrap up renovations by February—three months after the anticipated opening on Nov. 1. The Nameless Coalition for the Homeless began meeting with intentions to build a shelter before snowfall in 2013. The third winter has set in since the coalition formed, and Bemidji's homeless are bracing to face the coldest months of the season. http://ww...

    ADA, Minn. – Mike Kolness sees a crisis looming ahead for education, particularly in northwestern Minnesota. When the Ada-Borup School District superintendent saw a story about North Dakota failing to fill more than 200 teaching spots by using a "community experts" pilot program, he took to the Internet on Tuesday to tweet out a wake-up call. "We (are) also seeing a huge need for teachers in rural MN and things need to change! It is becoming a crisis," he told the Twitterverse. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/education/39...

  • Architects love the tiny houses, but will Minnesotans?

    Jan 8, 2016

    Will the “tiny house movement” ever be big in Minnesota? A development project on St. Paul’s East Side may go a long way toward answering that question. The concept of downsizing to homes of as little as 100 square feet for environmental, financial, social and even spiritual reasons is gaining traction in the United States, especially on the East and West coasts, where real estate costs have become prohibitively expensive for many would-be homeowners. Fans say “tiny living” offers an alternative that challenges traditional notions of how much...

  • State of the unions: Let public school teachers decide if they want representation, or not

    Jan 8, 2016

    If I’ve learned anything from the three generations of public school teachers in my family, it’s that they have strong opinions about education policy — and that they entered teaching to promote student, not personal, enrichment. While teachers might disagree about education policy and about policymakers telling them how to do their jobs, most teachers are in the classroom because they care about helping all students live up to their potential. An important case is looming in Washington, D.C., that might actually allow teachers to exerc...

  • Red Wing nurse's aide took wedding ring off ailing resident's finger, pawned it

    Jan 8, 2016

    A onetime assistant at a nursing home in Red Wing, Minn., is ready to admit that she stole a wedding ring worth thousands of dollars from the finger of a severely ailing 93-year-old resident, then pawned it while on her lunch break. Erin K. Russell, 24, of Red Wing, has a settlement conference scheduled for next week in Goodhue County District Court. At that time, according to prosecutor Elizabeth Marie Spang Breza, “the hope is” that Russell will plead guilty to the theft at the St. Brigid’s at Hi-Park home in July. “She’ll have to plead to...

  • American employers added a strong 292,000 jobs in December, suggesting the US economy may defy global trends and expand at solid pace this year

    Jan 8, 2016

    WASHINGTON — American employers added a robust 292,000 jobs in December, suggesting that the U.S. economy is so far defying global weakness and growing solidly. The strong figures underscore the resilience of the United States at a time of financial turmoil stemming from China's slowing economy and plummeting stock market. Most economists expect U.S. consumer spending to continue to offset overseas weakness, though many foresee only modest U.S. growth. In its monthly jobs report Friday, the Labor Department said the unemployment rate r...

  • Minneapolis tops $1 billion construction mark for fourth consecutive year

    Jan 8, 2016

    The city of Minneapolis issued $1.4 billion worth of building permits last year, it said Thursday, the fourth year in a row above the $1 billion threshold but well below 2014’s $2 billion level. That decrease is in large part due to 2014’s numbers being skewed by construction of the U.S. Bank Stadium for the Minnesota Vikings and the Downtown East redevelopment effort, which is anchored by the new Wells Fargo & Co. office towers. About $1 billion of the permit value in 2014 was for those two projects. http://www.startribune....

  • Legislators spar during early session on Real ID

    Jan 8, 2016

    Legislators clashed Thursday over the urgency of bringing Minnesota into compliance with the federal Real ID law as the state faces a deadline that could force residents to need more than a driver’s license to board airplanes. Democratic legislators offered a couple proposals to quickly bring the state into compliance in a special legislative session, but Republicans said they don’t feel the same urgency. The federal government has given Minnesota 120 days after an as-yet unspecified date to become compliant with the law or receive an ext...
