  • Tribal protesters charged for gathering fish and wild rice

    Jan 11, 2016

    Four Ojibwe tribe members have been charged for gathering wild rice and setting gillnets during a protest last summer.

Two protesters were handed citations at the time for harvesting wild rice without a permit, and two others for setting gillnets. Late last month Crow Wing County Attorney Donald Ryan decided to officially charge all four protesters....

With the grant, there would be no cost to the county for the project. “Our children, they need to see their language, hear it,” he said. D...

  • Feds give states years to meet new ID standards

    Jan 11, 2016

    ST. PAUL -- Americans may board commercial airlines for at least two more years with state identification cards that do not meet new federal guidelines, but it was not clear after Friday's announcement if a rush to change Minnesota law will continue. The federal Department of Homeland Security announced it will not require Real ID-compliant cards until Jan. 22, 2018. However, states making progress to distribute the enhanced IDs could receive extensions until Oct. 1, 2020, when everyone would be required to use Real ID cards or another form of...

  • For hundreds of Minnesotans, the wait for disability services is over

    Jan 11, 2016

    The number of Minnesotans with disabilities who endure prolonged waits for crucial social services has fallen sharply in recent months, as the state removes long-standing barriers to families most in need of assistance.

  • Privacy violations on the rise at Minnesota's VA facilities

    Jan 11, 2016

    With chronic pain in his neck and back and a brain injury from his days in the service, it wasn’t a surprise that Air Force veteran Ben Kraus had a huge file at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs offices: more than a thousand pages of confidential and sensitive information dealing with medical issues, vocational rehab and disability compensation. What was a surprise is what happened when Kraus requested copies of his file last year. The VA sent them to someone else. The VA had used an outdated address. Kraus never found out who received his f...

  • Panama Canal expansion could widen markets for Minnesota farmers

    Jan 11, 2016

    Minnesota soybean farmer Joel Schreurs was in Panama last month, taking separate tours of the past and the future. The past is the Panama Canal, vintage 1914, which has routed Minnesota-grown soybeans, corn and other products to China and other Asian markets for decades. The future is the Panama Canal expansion, now nearing completion, which will allow larger, longer and deeper oceangoing vessels to transit beginning in May. “It’s an amazing feat what they’re building,” said Schreurs. The new locks are so massive, he said, that the oversiz...
