WASHINGTON — House Democrats approved legislation Thursday that they say would help close the gap between what men and women are paid in the workplace, though the measure faces little chance of overcoming Republican opposition in the Senate.

New preliminary data show that nearly a thousand Minnesotans died from alcohol use last year.
