    Aug 1, 2018

    Leaders of Minnesota's DFL Party are in a heated feud with U.S. Senate candidate Richard Painter, a former Republican and ethics lawyer in President George W. Bush's White House who is challenging Sen. Tina Smith in the upcoming DFL primary. Party Chairman Ken Martin called Painter "a wolf in sheep's clothing" who refuses to say he is a Democrat.

  • Driver shortage brings longer-term cuts to Metro Transit bus service

    Aug 1, 2018

    Metro Transit officials facing a worsening driver shortage abruptly cut bus service Tuesday in a move to stabilize service across the Twin Cities — for now. By canceling 67 trips across 40 routes for the foreseeable future — about 1 percent of the agency’s daily operations — Metro Transit can staff the rest of its other runs and dramatically reduce the number of missed trips, said spokesman Howie Padilla. The agency has operated 99 percent of its runs, he said, but fallen short of its goal of 100 percent. http://www.startrib...

    Aug 1, 2018

  • Prosecutors: Paul Manafort believed he was above the law

    Aug 1, 2018

    ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Paul Manafort orchestrated a multimillion-dollar conspiracy to evade U.S. tax and banking laws, leaving behind a trail of lies as he lived a lavish lifestyle, prosecutors said Tuesday as they laid out their case against the former Trump campaign chairman. During his opening statement, Assistant U.S. Attorney Uzo Asonye told the jury that Manafort considered himself above the law as he funneled tens of millions of dollars through offshore accounts. That "secret income" was used to pay for personal expenses such as a $21,000 w...
