Gov. Mark Dayton gave big raises to his cabinet Wednesday, prompting a swift attack from Republicans as he boosted the salaries of some agency commissioners overnight by 30 percent or more. The raises for top executives, which go as high as $155,000, are far above those that rank-and-file state workers will receive. Recent contract agreements with the state’s two largest public employee unions resulted in 2.5 percent increases this year and next. http://www.startribune.com/mn-gov-mark-dayton-grants-big-raises-to-his-commissi...
Ryan Rosenthal opened a healthy-choice sandwich and snack shop in a Minneapolis skyway last fall and now works 60 hours a week with nobody guaranteeing his paycheck but himself. The shop, called Simpls, has no manager, but Rosenthal hopes to hire one in the future. When he does, he said he’ll offer a salary, but likely will have to ask the person to work more than 40 hours a week. http://www.startribune.com/obama-s-overtime-proposal-becomes-new-flashpoint-in-america-s-slow-wage-comeback/311352151/...
A band of thieves struck a luxury fashion retailer in Edina late Wednesday morning and led police on a cross-metro, high-speed chase that ended with eight arrests in Woodbury, authorities said. About $20,000 worth of merchandise was stolen shortly after 10 a.m. from the Louis Vuitton store in the Galleria mall, and the suspects fled in a minivan down France Avenue, Edina city spokeswoman Kaylin Eidsness said. http://www.startribune.com/thieves-hit-luxury-edina-store-caught-after-high-speed-chase-in-woodbury/311281751/...
EDMONTON, Alberta — England defender Laura Bassett was inconsolable as she lay face down on the field, sobbing. Japanese players gathered at the other end of the field in celebration — and relief — in realizing how close they came to squandering a chance to defend their Women's World Cup title. After Japan was outplayed for much of the second half, a turn of Bassett's foot followed by a fortunate bounce off the crossbar led to an own goal in the final minute of stoppage time that allowed Japan pull out a 2-1 victory in the semifinal Wedne...
Minnesota’s first medical marijuana patients stepped out of clinics in Minneapolis and Eagan on Wednesday, holding hope in a bottle. “I’m hoping for quite a bit of relief,” said Tyler Lafferty, 20, of Coon Rapids, who has a full-time job, a 2-year-old at home — and debilitating pain and nausea from chemotherapy treatments for the lymphoma he’s been battling for the past two years. http://www.startribune.com/medical-marijuana-now-legal-in-minnesota/311315151/...
MINNEAPOLIS — As the farm-to-table movement connects more consumers with local farmers, some farms have shortened the distance between the plow and the plate. They're inviting customers over for pizza. On Wednesday nights when the weather is nice, Pat and Tammy Winter serve well over 200 pizzas to guests at their Red Barn Farm near Northfield, about an hour south of Minneapolis. Customers make a picnic out of it, setting up chairs and tables outside the 101-year-old barn and packing in soda, beer and wine. Children chase the chickens and pet t...
With a big shift in consumer tastes shaking up the packaged food industry, General Mills will cut funding for the venerable but ailing Jolly Green Giant and move money into more promising gambits like gluten-free Cheerios and Lucky Charms. The move is emblematic of the challenges facing General Mills, as it reported Wednesday a mixed-bag fourth quarter to cap a trying fiscal year that included deep cost cuts and about 1,400 U.S. layoffs. Vegetables are healthy, but consumers are increasingly gravitating to fresh produce, not Green Giant’s f...
NEW YORK — Rapper Flo Rida, the Macy's department store chain and football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith all had something in common on Wednesday: They're the latest to distance themselves from Donald Trump following his remarks about Mexican immigrants. The Republican presidential hopeful's team is struggling to hold the Miss USA pageant together following defections by hosts, performers, judges and the two television networks that were scheduled to broadcast the event on July 12. Trump, who fired back at Macy's, owns the Miss USA and Miss U...
WASHINGTON – Having arrived at the White House with only a few years of Washington experience, President Obama and Michelle Obama, the first lady, were often frustrated by rules and conventions not even they could break. But on Wednesday morning, Michelle Obama posted on her Instagram account a short video in which she literally tore up one of those rules — the more than 40-year ban on photography during tours of the White House. “If you’ve been on a White House tour, you may have seen this sign,” Michelle Obama says in the video, holding u...
An apparent long-term decline in Minnesota’s yellow perch populations has Department of Natural Resources fisheries officials perplexed and seeking answers. A recently published study showed a significant decline since 1970 of yellow perch caught in DNR nets. Perch are a primary food for walleyes, northerns and largemouth bass, so a drop in perch numbers could spell wider troubles. The study said the trend is important “because the decline of this species may negatively impact angling opportunities and food webs across the state.’’ http://...
A Kenora, Ont., lawyer is facing professional misconduct charges over alleged mishandling of settlement funds for more than a dozen residential school survivors. The Law Society of Upper Canada’s allegations against Douglas Jack Keshen, who has been retained for decades to represent First Nations, concern more than $100,000 of settlement money paid out to at least 17 victims of sexual, physical and emotional abuse at residential schools. http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2015/06/30/lawyer-accused-of-mishandling-settlement-fund...
From the era of Chief Justice John Marshall through the time of Justice Thurgood Marshall, the Supreme Court has struggled to define the doctrine of American Indian tribal sovereignty. Tribal sovereignty is not simply an abstract legal concept; it is part of the military, social, and economic development of our country. The following is a look at how the decisions of the Court for the past 170 years have defined, defended, and ultimately diminished that sovereignty. The role of the Supreme Court in affecting Indian sovereignty is best...
The juvenile justice system is failing Native American youth. That’s what a series of recent reports have shown. In June the Tribal Law and Policy Institute reported that state courts are twice as likely to incarcerate Native teens for minor crimes like truancy and alcohol use, than any other racial and ethnic group. All three recent reports call for reform. Juvenile detention facilities around the country have a disproportionately high number of Native American youth according to the Indian Law & Order Commission report. On the reservation, i...
Ashlea Burns' baby could easily have become another tragic statistic illustrating Minnesota's infant mortality disparities. Two months ago, Burns had just finished dinner when she started experiencing labor contractions. It was way too early in her pregnancy for her to have a healthy baby. http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/health/3777723-infant-mortality-higher-minnesota-among-blacks-american-indians...
BISMARCK, N.D. - A man accused of stabbing the Bureau of Indian Affairs superintendent in the back on South Dakota's Crow Creek Indian Reservation has pleaded guilty to attempted murder under a deal with prosecutors. In return for Brian Iron Boulder's guilty plea last week, federal prosecutors dropped two assault charges. Iron Boulder could have faced 50 years in prison if convicted on all three counts he faced. Court documents indicate he now will face between 15 ½ and 19 ½ years in prison when sentenced Sept. 14 in U.S. District Court in P...
