  • If QB Josh Rosen is available via trade, the Vikings should be interested

    Mar 5, 2019

    So here’s a potentially interesting and rare opportunity: A quarterback chosen with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2018 draft might be available via trade — and it might not take a whole lot of resources to get him. That’s the takeaway from reading the situation with the Cardinals, who have the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 draft and sound like they are smitten with the notion of taking QB Kyler Murray at that spot. http://www.startribune.com/if-qb-josh-rosen-is-available-via-trade-the-vikings-should-be-interested/506669172...

  • Lawmakers move to close licensing 'loophole,' critics say it will mean less teacher diversity

    Mar 5, 2019

    Minnesota House Democrats want to close what they say is a loophole in the state’s new teacher licensing system, but opponents argue the result will be a less diverse workforce of educators. State Rep. Mary Kunesh-Podein, DFL-New Brighton, is chief sponsor of a bill that would eliminate one of the more contentious pieces of the licensing overhaul approved by the Legislature in 2017. The so-called loophole allows teachers without formal training to work their way up to a full teaching license. https://www.twincities.com/2019/...
