  • Three GOP newcomers to Minnesota Senate create headaches for DFL majority

    Mar 10, 2023

    The Minnesota Senate's tradition of decorum and orderly debate has been upended this year by some Republican newcomers who are antagonizing the Democratic majority and dragging discussions on for hours. GOP Sens. Steve Drazkowski, Glenn Gruenhagen and Eric Lucero rose to speak nearly 50 times combined during a 15-hour debate on a bill codifying abortion rights into state law, repeatedly blasting Democrats' bill as "extreme." The Senate debate took nearly four times as long as the House's,...

As of Wednesday, the Twin Cities had picked up 75.3 inches of snow for the season, and another 3 to 5 inches was expected Thursday through Friday morning.

  • How frugal shoppers are helping to fight inflation

    Mar 10, 2023

    It's not just the Federal Reserve that can fight inflation - consumers can, too, by changing their buying habits, Deloitte researchers say. Consistent frugal behaviors by enough people can force retailers and manufacturers to keep prices, and profit margins, in check. But a new longitudinal study by Deloitte found not everyone is curtailing their spending. "When consumers signal they can no longer tolerate higher prices, retailers and consumer products companies could begin to lose their...

    Mar 10, 2023

    JACKSON, Tenn. — When he looked to the future, Grayson Hart always saw a college degree. He was a good student at a good high school. He wanted to be an actor, or maybe a teacher.

A year after high school, Hart is directing a youth theater program in Jackson, Tennessee. He got into every college he applied to but turned them all down. Cost was a big factor, but a year of remote learning also gave him the time and c...

  • MN GOP lawmakers push for higher fentanyl penalties, new offense for carjacking as part of public safety proposal

    Mar 10, 2023

    Minority Republicans in the Minnesota Senate and House are pushing for a package of public safety legislation they say will fight crime by stiffening criminal penalties and strengthening police forces.

But with Democrats in control of state government, little of their agenda has gained tract...
