Minnesota lawmakers passed the largest infrastructure package in state history Monday, capping a legislative session where Democrats pushed through some of the most monumental spending and policy changes in a generation. They sent a $2.6 billion infrastructure package, with $1.5 billion of borrowing and nearly $1.1 billion in cash, to DFL Gov. Tim Walz for his signature. In the final hours of session, legislators signed off on the last piece of the infrastructure deal that directs $300 million...
Minnesota lawmakers sent a sweeping $3 billion tax bill to the governor's desk on Sunday and were racing to finish other priorities ahead of their Monday adjournment deadline. The DFL-controlled Minnesota Senate voted along party lines Sunday to pass the tax bill that includes one-time rebates, a credit for low-income families and higher taxes for some Minnesotans. "This is a really good bill," Sen. Heather Gustafson, DFL-Vadnais Heights, said. "It's going to help out seniors. It's going to...
Controversial regulations over nurse hospital staffing were removed from legislation Monday that will instead focus on preventing violence against nurses and studying the reasons why they burn out and leave the profession. The result was an extraordinary compromise for a bill that was steamrolling through the Legislature, with backing by DFL leaders and the Minnesota Nurses Association, until Mayo Clinic raised objections. The bill known as the Keeping Nurses at the Bedside Act was so...
"This is a good example of what Indigenous resiliency looks like," Owamni co-owner Dana Thompson said after listing off all the challenges of preparing to reopen the restaurant after an electrical fire. On the afternoon of April 5, the restaurant in Minneapolis' Water Works Park experienced a power surge; Thompson said she then could smell electrical wires burning. "As the evacuation began, the building filled with smoke." Something had happened to the park's main circuit breaker, located below...

Putting on a seat belt takes only a matter of seconds, but the act can save lives. That's the message the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is spending $10.5 million to send to motorists as part of a national "Click It or Ticket" education and enforcement campaign. The initiative began Monday and will run through June 4. "Adopt the easy habit of buckling up," said Mike Hanson, director of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety's Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). "It's...
GEORGETOWN, Guyana - An overnight fire raced through a dormitory in Guyana, killing at least 19 students who were trapped and injuring several others at a government boarding school as authorities probe whether it was intentionally set. All but one of the victims were Indigenous girls, officials said Monday. ''This is a horrific incident. It's tragic. It's painful,'' President Irfaan Ali said, adding that his government was mobilizing all possible resources as he requested help from the region...
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - As tensions with Iran have escalated over its nuclear program, the U.S. military this month posted pictures of a powerful bomb designed to penetrate deep into the earth and destroy underground facilities that could be used to enrich uranium. The U.S. Air Force on May 2 released rare images of the weapon, the GBU-57, known as the ''Massive Ordnance Penetrator.'' Then it took the photos down - apparently because the photographs revealed sensitive details about the...
BOISE, Idaho - The suspect in the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students opted Monday to ''stand silent'' to murder charges, prompting the judge to enter not guilty pleas on his behalf ahead of a trial in which he could face the death penalty. The Nov. 13, 2022, killings stunned the rural community of Moscow, Idaho, and prompted many students to leave campus early, switching to remote learning for the remainder of the semester. Bryan Kohberger, 28, was arrested late last year and...

St. Paul, MN: The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) will set approximately 20,000 traps this year looking for spongy moth (Lymantria dispar), formally known as gypsy moth. The traps will be set throughout the eastern half of the state and in far northwestern Minnesota as part of a “western rotation.” This work is part of the MDA’s annual trapping survey program and is designed to protect Minnesota’s forests and urban areas from new infestations of spongy moth by detecting potential problem areas for future treatments. While the goal of...
Eligible Minnesota families with children will start receiving pandemic food benefits for the current school year this month, and some families will get a final round of smaller summer benefits in July. The Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer payments, or P-EBT, are expected to be the last of their kind as the federal public health emergency for COVID-19 wraps up. Many families face food insecurity, which is even more challenging when their children don’t get meals at school. During the pandemic, the extra assistance eased that stress by h...
AJO, Ariz.-The FBI and the Tohono O'odham Police are investigating the fatal shooting of a Tohono O'odham citizen by U.S. Border Patrol agents last Thursday. The citizen, identified by the Tribe as Raymond Mattia, had called to report people trespassing on his property. Mattia was reportedly shot at his home at around 10 p.m. Thursday on the reservation near the U.S.-Mexico border in southern Arizona. Agents from the Ajo Station were involved in the shooting, according to a spokesperson for...
EDMONTON, Alberta — Scattered rains and even smoke cover cooled air temperatures and helped efforts to fight wildfires in Alberta over the weekend, officials said Sunday, while a new fire in neighboring British Columbia led to an evacuation order for one rural area. As the heavy smoke brought cooler temperatures, it also limited the ability to fly firefighting aircraft and it can harm the health of people having to breathe it, authorities added. “I couldn’t say one outweighs the other. We will take advantage of any opportunity we have, and i...
