  • DFL lawmakers yield on Bde Maka Ska, leave the name up to the courts

    May 23, 2019

    House DFL lawmakers dropped a proposal to officially recognize a south Minneapolis lake by its Dakota name, Bde Maka Ska, as officials scrambled Wednesday to wrap up a state budget agreement. Democrats wanted to use the two-year state spending plan to wade into an ongoing legal battle over what to call the popular body of water. The issue emerged in late April, after the Minnesota Court of Appeals invalidated a state Department of Natural Resources decision to strip the name of former Vice...

  • Minnesota community college faculty to receive up to $1.9M in back pay

    May 23, 2019

    The union representing faculty at Minnesota's 30 community colleges settled a long-running dispute with the Minnesota State system that could grant its members nearly $2 million in back pay.

The agreement signed Wednesday settles a lawsuit the union filed two years ago. The system admitted no...

  • Lady Warriors lose in 5 innings to Blackduck 21-4 - P8

    Michael Barrett, RLNN|May 23, 2019

    The Red Lake Lady Warriors lost in 5 innings to Blackduck 21-4 in Red Lake on Monday, May 13, 2019. The Junior Varsity also dropped their game. Part of the problem could have been they were released from class at 10:30 that morning for an 11 AM game, which would have only gave them about 10 to 15 minutes to get their uniforms on, get to the field, and start playing. They didn't have much time to warm up. The loss gave Red Lake a 3-3 record on the season. Red Lake's Lady Warriors will play Pine...

    May 23, 2019
