Aggressively raising the bar for our nation’s public schools and students is President Obama’s greatest unsung accomplishment. One of the first decisions for the next President will be whether to expand upon Obama’s legacy – or reject it by surrendering to those regressive interests that seek to roll back accountability for continued improvements in our schools. No decision will have a greater impact on our nation’s children. Entrance into the 21st century’s competitive knowledge economy requires access to a quality education. But too many of...

Long before rainbow-maned unicorn floats showed up at Target and “Love is Love” shirts hit Macy’s, Jim Connelly’s shop in Loring Park was one of the go-to sources around the Twin Cities for all things pride-related. It still is. The Rainbow Road, a gay gift shop, has already sold hundreds of rainbow flags this month, reordering them three times since the June 12 mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando. In the weeks leading up to this weekend’s Twin Cities Pride festivities, his business has been busier than ever. The increase comes des...

The nasal spray version of the annual flu vaccine failed to protect children last year for the third year in a row and should not be used this coming flu season, federal experts say. The decision represents a change from previous recommendations and could affect pediatricians and other vaccine providers for children who may have already placed orders for the coming season. The needle-free nasal spray accounts for about one-third of all flu vaccines given to children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. http:...
WASHINGTON — For years, Sen. Al Franken has kept one of his most potent political weapons in check: his wit. The former "Saturday Night Live" comic was determined to establish himself as a serious senator after winning his Minnesota seat by a razor-thin margin. So on entering the Senate in 2009, he embraced the low-key life of a freshman lawmaker, allowing his inner-nerd to flourish as he dove into legislation and limited his media contacts to home-state reporters. Those days are ending. Since winning re-election in 2014, Franken has grown m...
Minnesota business groups and Republican legislative leaders are pressing for a new state law as they try to undercut a growing number of cities adopting paid-leave regulations. The issue is a newly emerging wrinkle in negotiations for a special legislative session, as Republicans have added it as a condition for returning to St. Paul to approve unfinished funding for transportation and construction projects. “It’s a top priority for our members,” said Charlie Weaver, executive director of the Minnesota Business Partnership, which inclu...

The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs approved a bill to expand tribal jurisdiction over non-Indians on Wednesday after a spirited debate on marijuana and sovereignty. Only a handful of tribes have entered the marijuana industry but Sen. James Lankford (R-Oklahoma) wants to punish the ones that choose to do so. He proposed an amendment to S.2785, the Tribal Youth and Community Protection Act, to cut off federal funds to tribes that grow the plant. "These tribes have sovereignty and I completely honor that sovereignty ... but existing federal...

On June 21, 2016, the North Carolina Attorney General announced that two online fast cash lenders have agreed to pay more than $9 million in refunds for allegedly illegal loans issued to North Carolina consumers. The settlement stems from a December 2013 complaint alleging that the lenders violated North Carolina usury and consumer protection laws by making loans to North Carolina residents at exorbitant “interest rates from 89.68% to 342.86% per annum.” In August 2015, the Court issued a preliminary injunction barring the companies from len...
