  • The 'but' stops here: Alex Ovechkin's 14-year Stanley Cup chase is over

    Jun 8, 2018

    LAS VEGAS -- Alex Ovechkin is a Stanley Cup champion. The 'but' is dead. He's no longer Dan Marino. Or Ted Williams. Or Karl Malone. He is a star player whose statistical achievements -- 607 goals, putting him 19th all time at 32 years old -- will never again be counterbalanced by the lack of a championship. http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/23728721/2018-stanley-cup-final-alex-ovechkin-washington-capitals-win-stanley-cup-nhl...

  • Minneapolis cops halt low-level marijuana stings after racial disparity revealed

    Jun 8, 2018

    Minneapolis police abruptly ended the practice of targeting small-scale marijuana sellers after revelations that nearly every one arrested was black. In a series of rushed announcements Thursday, authorities said that police would no longer conduct sting operations targeting low-level marijuana sales, and charges against 47 people arrested in the first five months of 2018 would be dismissed. http://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-cops-halt-marijuana-stings-after-almost-all-arrested-were-black/484876151/...

  • Suicide rates rise sharply in Minnesota, across the country, new report shows

    Jun 8, 2018

    The suicide rate in Minnesota jumped 40.6 percent over 18 years, part of a nationwide trend that saw increases in all but one state and prompted public health officials to urge people to get help when facing a crisis. The findings, released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, confirm what Minnesota officials had already been tracking. Between 1999 and 2016, suicide rates in Minnesota increased across age, sex and racial groups, but lately the rates have been going up the most in rural parts of the state....

  • Analysis: HUD plan would raise rents for poor by 20 percent

    Jun 8, 2018

    CHARLESTON, S.C. — Housing Secretary Ben Carson says his latest proposal to raise rents would mean a path toward self-sufficiency for millions of low-income households across the United States by pushing more people to find work. For Ebony Morris and her four small children, it could mean homelessness. Morris lives in Charleston, South Carolina, where most households receiving federal housing assistance would see their rent go up an average 26 percent, according to an analysis done by Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and provided e...

  • Gov. Mark Dayton's rocky relationship with Legislature ends as it began

    Jun 8, 2018

    A major task for Minnesota’s next governor will be to reset the relationship between the office of chief executive and the Legislature, an often-frayed connection that’s been at a low point recently due to bitter sparring between DFL Gov. Mark Dayton and leading Republican lawmakers. As the session wrapped up in late May, Dayton blasted Republicans as beholden to special interests, unfurling a litany of adjectives that included “vile,” “disgusting” and “appalling.” Republicans in turn compared the DFL governor to a toddler, calling him vin...

  • MnDOT to install safety counter measures at stop signs, stop lights

    Jun 8, 2018

    ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation wants motorists to notice stop signs and stop lights more to reduce crashes at intersections. The agency will apply reflective red metal strips on nearly 1,000 stop sign posts and fluorescent yellow tape at 101 traffic signal lights across the state this summer. "We think these two low-cost ways to make stop signs and stop lights more visible will help reduce crashes at these higher risk intersections," said Derek Leuer, traffic s...

  • PETERSON OP-ED: SNAP already has work requirements… the problem is they're not working

    Jun 8, 2018

    Work requirements have been part of SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, since 1996. People between 16 and 59 have to work. The problem is that the requirements we have for able-bodied adults don’t work the way they should. They don’t work because they’re too rigid and don’t offer the states any flexibility, so states ask instead to waive the requirements altogether, which sabotages the original intent of reform. For 2018, 36 states requested and received waivers that exempt folks from work requirements. In Minnesota, our governor request...
