  • Dayton issues vetoes, signs other bills

    Jun 1, 2016

    ST. PAUL -- A pension bill and parts of an outdoor-program funding bill received governor vetoes Tuesday. The pension bill would have cut payments to retired government workers, which Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton said he found unacceptable. He said that government employers and current employees should be responsible for paying into the pension fund, something he said that he will demand during the 2017 legislative session. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/region/4044454-dayton-issues-vetoes-signs-other-bills...

  • Digging into legislation to unearth the specifics: Bills voted on during session covered wide range of issues

    Jun 1, 2016

    ST. PAUL — Despite having only 11 weeks to approve legislation, the Minnesota Legislature’s final bills covered a huge expanse of issues. Lawmakers approved measures that touched on “the theory of a constructive quit,” rules on use of the “Ordinary Mortality Table” and added to the definition of a barber someone who colors, shapes or straightens the hair of any person. (The law had previously defined a barber as someone who cuts or bobs hair.) http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/local/4043977-digging-legislation-u...

    Jun 1, 2016

    BEMIDJI—With aquatic invasive species having infested 5 percent of Minnesota waters, the Department of Natural Resources is sending out more watercraft inspectors than ever to prevent further spreading.

  • Local governments cry foul over feds' move to limit tax-free municipal bonds

    Jun 1, 2016

    Public officials in Minnesota and across the nation are scrambling to head off a proposal they say would deliver a devastating blow to their ability to fund infrastructure and economic development projects. Affordable housing in Albertville, a community gym in Edina, a fire station in Pelican Rapids: These and other projects could become tougher to build and pay for if the IRS succeeds in clamping down on the use of tax-exempt municipal bonds. http://www.startribune.com/local-governments-cry-foul-over-feds-move-to-limit-tax-...

  • U.S. death rate rises for first time in 10 years

    Jun 1, 2016

    WASHINGTON – The death rate in the United States rose last year for the first time in a decade, preliminary federal data show, a rare increase that was driven in part by more people dying from drug overdoses, suicide and Alzheimer’s disease. The death rate from heart disease, long in decline, edged up slightly. Death rates — measured as the number of deaths per 100,000 people — have been declining for years, an effect of improvements in health, disease management and medical technology. http://www.startribune.com/u-s...

  • Student attends South graduation, five years after bullet nearly ended her life

    Jun 1, 2016

    A little more than five years ago, Guadalupe Galeno-Hernandez was a south Minneapolis 13-year-old fighting for her life after a gangster’s bullet pierced her neck. Now a budding poet who dreams of teaching elementary schoolchildren, on Tuesday night she joined classmates at their high school graduation. Guadalupe, who will become the first child in her family to finish high school, joined 405 others from Minneapolis South High School for the graduation ceremony at Mariucci Arena. http://www.startribune.com/guadalupe-galeno...

  • Here's why the U.S. military still uses floppy disks

    Jun 1, 2016

    America’s nuclear arsenal depends on a surprising relic of the 1970s that few of us may recall: the humble floppy disk. It’s hard to believe these magnetic, 8-inch data storage devices are what’s propping up the most fearsome weapons humanity has ever created. But the Department of Defense is still relying on this technology to coordinate key strategic forces such as nuclear bombers and intercontinental ballistic missiles, according to a new government report. http://www.startribune.com/here-s-why-the-u-s-military-stil...

  • Police departments begin to reward restraint as they do bravery

    Jun 1, 2016

    PHILADELPHIA — A few police agencies in the U.S. have begun rewarding officers for showing restraint in the line of duty, putting the tactic on par with bravery. More than 40 Philadelphia officers have received awards since December for defusing conflicts without shooting, clubbing or otherwise using maximum force against anyone. The Los Angeles Police Department recently created a Preservation of Life award. And later this year, the U.S. Justice Department's new Community Policing Awards will recognize officers who prevent tense situations...

  • School climate: Students are stuck in a dysfunctional system

    Earl Holdridge, Star Tribune|Jun 1, 2016

    I applaud the students who wrote the May 27 commentary "Student voices are to be heard, not ignored." Their main point: "School climate isn't about fights and suspensions, but about creating an environment within our schools where everyone can thrive." As a teacher-counselor, I'd like to reinforce their thoughts with my observations and experience. Perhaps it will shed some light on giving hope for the kind of school the writers seek. First, I'd like to say in no way are administrators, school...

  • General Mills issues major flour recall after E. coli outbreak

    Jun 1, 2016

    General Mills, owner of the venerable Gold Medal brand, has recalled over 10 million pounds of flour after 38 people in 20 states got sick from a potentially deadly strain of E. coli that may have originated in the company’s products. The Golden Valley-based packaged food giant Tuesday announced the voluntary recall of some lots of Gold Medal — the nation’s bestselling retail flour — as well as flour sold under the Wondra and Signature Kitchens brands. Signature Kitchens is a store brand sold at several major U.S. grocery chains...

  • Dayton backs body-camera bill sought by law enforcement agencies

    Jun 1, 2016

    Gov. Mark Dayton on Tuesday signed a bill that sets statewide standards for footage gathered by body cameras on police officers, a controversial measure that pitted law enforcement against civil libertarians and some community activists. Dayton had previously expressed concern about the body camera bill, and he gave only a terse explanation of support in a letter accompanying word of his signature. "I have signed this bill to honor my promise to legislative sponsors that I would do so, if an objectionable provision were removed."...

  • California Gov. Jerry Brown tells Democrats the nomination fight is over

    Jun 1, 2016

    California Gov. Jerry Brown said Tuesday that he’s supporting Hillary Clinton over Sen. Bernie Sanders for president, delivering a clear signal to Democrats to stop bickering over the nomination and focus on November’s election. The endorsement by Brown, who is respected by progressives and popular in the state, is a valuable asset for Clinton one week before the delegate-rich Democratic primary there, in which both candidates are going for broke. http://www.startribune.com/california-gov-jerry-brown-tells-democrats-the-...

  • Children's bodies pulled from rubble of hospitals attacked in Syria

    Jun 1, 2016

    BEIRUT – Rescue workers on Tuesday pulled children and other victims from the rubble of two hospitals in Idlib, a city in insurgent-held northern Syria, after the latest aerial bombardments. The attacks began Monday night, and, witnesses said, they appeared to be airstrikes conducted by Syrian government forces or their Russian allies. Rescue workers and anti-government activists said that more than 20 people had been killed, with dozens more injured. http://www.startribune.com/children-s-bodies-pulled-from-rubble-of-hospi...

  • Trump's Last Stand

    Jun 1, 2016

    On Thursday, Donald Trump, flanked by enthusiastic brown noser Congressman Kevin Cramer (R-ND), who pushed for legislation that makes it more difficult for Natives to vote and threatened to “wring Tribal council’s necks” while making Native women cry at a state gathering on domestic violence a few years ago, appeared in Bismarck, North Dakota. During a press conference, he couldn’t resist tearing into Senator Elizabeth Warren, once again referring to her as “Pocahontas.” Read more at http://indiancountrytodaymedi...

  • Trump and Warren are Racists and I Won't Defend Either

    Jun 1, 2016

    Trump’s a racist. He’s also an idiot. He has a limited vocabulary that boils down to “great,” “very best,” “I,” and “loser.” His troll-like attacks on Elizabeth Warren are reductive, reducing Natives down to romantic imagery, and chiming back the colonialist tale of “Pocahontas,” a Native girl white people fetishized to promote their idea of “The Good Native.” We all know the real story; Pocahontas was a victim of child sexual exploitation and died away from her people, “converted” on a boat, amidst a genocide...

  • Libertarians As the 'Normal' Alternative to the Democrats

    Jun 1, 2016

    TRAHANT REPORTS—Let’s explore two questions: First, will a third party candidacy matter in the 2016 presidential election? And, if so, what does that mean for the Native American vote? The first question ought to be easy to answer because the arc of history says no. Democrats and Republicans have owned the presidential field since the mid-19th century when the Whig Party collapsed.

  • A Live Study On Medical Marijuana

    Jun 1, 2016

    In Canada, medical marijuana is to be fully legalised in 2017. Marijuana was given to us by Mother Earth for a reason, yet for many years we let it slip through our fingers. Many decades later we finally have a hold on the substance and in just one step we could have the answer. Many years I have been placed on man-made prescription drugs, due to having Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. My body has never agreed with man-made prescription drugs, it never once stopped the epileptic seizures and instead I just got horrible side effects. Read more at...

  • Northern Cheyenne Tribe shows love for 'commod' cheese

    Jun 1, 2016

    As promised in an earlier column, I now will mostly pen about things other than tribal politics. A really ‘goot’ topic this week, was suggested by my Cheyenne partner. As he is modest, wanting to stay in the background, his real name cannot be revealed. “Don’t print my name,” he insists. (Jokes, most Cheyenne readers already know who he is). This little story revolves around commodity cheese, the “gold standard”, which we call “best of the world cheese” in high demand by creative Cheyenne chefs. It is easily obtained by the...
