Minnesota is on the cusp of joining nearly two dozen other states that have legalized recreational marijuana for adults. The DFL-controlled House was expected to vote on the marijuana bill late Monday night, though a House spokesman said the discussion could extend into Tuesday. The Senate is scheduled to vote on the measure Friday. "This is a historic day for Minnesotans who have been waiting for cannabis legalization for many, many years. We're going to get the job done," said state Rep. Zack...
The Star Tribune talked to dozens of people in Colorado and Michigan about their recreational marijuana markets and asked what Minnesota should emulate - and avoid. Here are thoughts shared by authorities and industry pros: Public safety Sgt. Jim Janes, Michigan State Police drug recognition expert program leader: "We've done a really good job as a nation telling people you can't drive when you're drunk.

NEW YORK - Fox News on Monday ousted prime-time host Tucker Carlson, whose stew of grievances and political theories about Russia and the Jan. 6 insurrection had grown to define the network in recent years and make him an influential force in GOP politics. Fox said that the network and Carlson had ''agreed to part ways,'' but offered no explanation for the stunning move, saying that the last broadcast of ''Tucker Carlson Tonight'' aired last Friday. Carlson ended the show by saying, ''We'll be...
Football historians may one day view this as wishfully premature thinking on behalf of Vikings fans, but let's tentatively assume for now that Jordan Love, Green Bay's new No. 1 quarterback, will not spend the next decade and a half winning multiple league MVPs, a Super Bowl, and a trip to Canton, Ohio, to join Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers as a first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer. If that is indeed the case, then, by gosh Vikings fans, The Streak has ended! Finally. A run of blessed...
Ex-police officer Kim Potter was released from prison early Monday and will reside in Wisconsin, two years after fatally shooting Daunte Wright during a traffic stop in a Brooklyn Center neighborhood.

Her sentence from Hennepin County District Judge Regina Chu was significantly below state guidelines. Potter, a 26-year police veteran,...
A group of environmental organizations say nitrate pollution in drinking water has reached crisis proportions in southeast Minnesota, and it's time for the feds to step in.

In Wabasha, Minn., flood waters from the Mississippi River have been creeping into yards and basements, damaging homes. While the river is expected to crest there Tuesday at 17.2 feet, the city of 2,500 will have to deal with flood waters for several days. "It's a mess," Mayor Emily Durand said. "It's no fun." Communities along the Mississippi are watching and waiting as the river crests in southeastern Minnesota throughout the week, even as flood waters recede elsewhere in the state. The...
A major reason it's easy to fall for a scam is we're busy. For example, a friend recently moved, a stressful situation with lots of deadlines. During the move, she received an official-looking email from the Social Security Administration with an attachment. The letter said that there was a problem with her Social Security account. She should immediately open the attachment, fill in the information and send it back. She hesitated. The email looked official. She also knew not to open the...

April 24, 2023 (SAINT PAUL) — Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has joined a coalition of 18 attorneys general in submitting comments to the Federal Trade Commission in support of a proposed rule that would eliminate non-compete clauses in employment contracts in most circumstances.

Each spring, columns of smoke can be seen across the landscape in northwest Minnesota. These smoke columns are the result of landowners burning drainage ditches, farmers and ranchers burning agricultural stubble, pastures, and piles of brush and trees. Another originator of these spring "smokes" across the landscape is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The carefully planned prescribed burns that are conducted on federal and state lands are needed to maintain critical habitats for both game and...
