  • With bonding bill failure, status of Bemidji-area projects up in the air

    Kyle Farris, Bemidji Pioneer|May 24, 2016

    BEMIDJI—Two multimillion-dollar projects planned for Bemidji went down with the state's bonding bill as legislators quarreled Sunday over funding for transportation and public works. Monday's deadline came and went without an agreement on those fronts, putting on hold plans to replace Northern Dental Access Center and BSU's Hagg-Sauer Hall—along with a multitude of other projects planned across the state. Both local projects had received support from Gov. Mark Dayton and the DFL-controlled Senate. "It's a devastating blow," said Jeanne Ede...

    May 24, 2016

    ST. PAUL -- The Minnesota Legislature has built a reputation for chaotic endings, followed by a special session to pass what lawmakers left undone in their allotted time.

Mark Dayton will call a special session to get $1 billion for transportation and other public works projects. Dayton, the only person who can call a special session, said Monday that he is thinking about his next step. "Whether or not there will be special session, I can't...

    May 24, 2016

    Baghdad (ICRC) -- Fierce fighting is underway around the Iraqi city of Fallujah, raising serious concerns about the well-being and safety of civilians still trapped in and around the city.

  • Blame in the air at Minnesota Capitol after disappointing close of session

    May 24, 2016

Mark Dayton scolded state legislators Monday for letting their session end without a compromise on more than a billion dollars in proposed spending on transportation and public works bonding projects, but he was noncommittal about whether he’d summon them back this year to try again. “It’s disappointing to say the least that the session ended without a transportation bill and without a bonding bill,” said Dayton, about 14 hours after the Legislature’s 11-week session broke down in acrimony between the DFL-led Senate and the Republica...

  • Minn. farmers warned not to plant Monsanto's latest Roundup soybeans

    May 24, 2016

    Across Minnesota, grain buyers and sellers have been warning farmers this spring to be wary about planting Monsanto’s latest biotech soybean.
