ST. PAUL — The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission on Monday released expected guidelines for the process for approving a route for Enbridge Energy’s proposed Sandpiper oil pipeline. The order will require the Minnesota Department of Commerce to study the cumulative environmental impact of locating two new pipelines in one new corridor — the Sandpiper line and the so-called Line 3 replacement — as the company has proposed. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/region/3810477-puc-sets-outline-sandpiper-pipeline-route-process...

Discussions are underway for reopening Grand Mound — a burial site whose use dates back to the Laurel Indians in 200 BC — after the site was closed to visitors eight years ago. Minnesota Historical Society representatives have been meeting since May with International Falls officials and Native American leaders from either side of the Canadian border to discuss the stories that should be told about Grand Mound, along the Rainy River about 15 miles southwest of International Falls. After more than 30 years as a state historic site, access was...
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Walleye fishing on Lake Mille Lacs will close today, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said. In an announcement on its website Sunday, the DNR said it is closing the season because the Lake Mille Lacs walleye harvest has exceeded the state's yearly quota by more than 2,000 pounds. The season will remain shut down through Nov. 30. "This action is necessary to conserve walleye populations in Mille Lacs Lake for the long term. Despite the walleye closure, Mille Lacs remains a world class fishing destination with...
Clergy sex abuse claims against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis poured in as the 5 p.m. deadline approached Monday. By the end of the day, the scope of the church’s problem was more clear: Attorneys counted more than 400 claims. Attorneys representing sex abuse victims had been working around the clock to prepare the claims, stemming from the sexual abuse of children by dozens of Catholic priests over decades. http://www.startribune.com/attorneys-say-sex-abuse-claims-against-archdiocese-of-st-paul-and-minneapolis...
The sun set Monday on a long-cherished tradition on Lake Mille Lacs. In an unprecedented move, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources shut down walleye fishing on the lake in an effort to protect what it says is a record low walleye population. By 10 p.m. Monday, dozens of anglers pulled their lines in, punctuating the first time walleye fishing closed midseason on the lake. “It’s pretty sad,” said Steve Sandness of Albertville, who watched his fluorescent bobber toss in the waves Monday evening. Sandness was among a group fishing from...
New managed care contracts announced last week mean an estimated 475,000 Minnesotans in public health insurance programs must move to a new health plan for 2016. That’s about six times the number of switches with previous contract changes, and has advocates worried enrollees could fall through the cracks. “Any time you’ve got that many people being disrupted, it’s a cause for alarm,” said Ralonda Mason, an attorney with Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid in St. Cloud. http://www.startribune.com/new-minnesota-managed-care-contracts-mean...
WASHINGTON – Minnesota’s two Democratic senators aggressively pushed back on Monday against Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, with U.S. Sen. Al Franken calling it a “preposterous” idea that would only gut women’s health care. The U.S. Senate ultimately voted 53 to 46 to kill the proposal to strip federal funding from the organization that uses federal dollars for cancer screenings, birth control and reproductive care. Planned Parenthood also performs abortions, but federal law already prohibits taxpayer dollars from funding t...
The football coach at one of Minnesota’s fastest-rising high school programs resigned Monday on the eve of the 2015 season amid a widening school district investigation of player eligibility concerns. Mike Pendino, who coached at East Ridge for five seasons, submitted his resignation Monday morning, according to South Washington County School District communications director Barb Brown. Pendino led East Ridge into the Class 6A tournament last fall before the district learned that a player never actually lived at the residence listed on the p...
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration issued landmark rules Monday to cut greenhouse gases from coal-burning power plants, mapping out a 15-year path to increase wind and solar power, and energy conservation that Minnesota already is taking. The final Environmental Protection Agency rules require the U.S. power sector to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 32 percent in 2030 from 2005 levels. The overall reductions are stricter than those proposed in a draft last year, but states and utilities got more time to comply. http://www...
The majority of tribal nations across the country do not recognize same sex marriage. Because of tribal sovereignty, the Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality does not apply. Many gay tribal members are struggling to balance celebration for LGBTQ members across the states and the sting that comes with knowing they may not be able to marry within their own nation. http://kgou.org/post/gay-tribal-members-not-guaranteed-their-own-big-fat-creek-wedding...
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (CN) - San Bernardino County sheriff's officers racially profile Chemehuevi Indians on their own reservation, issuing them traffic citations they have no jurisdiction to give, the tribe claims in Federal Court. The Chemehuevi Indian Tribe sued San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon, District Attorney Michael Ramos, County Counsel Jean-Rene Basle, and other officials on July 30. They ask the court to order the sheriff and his officers to stop "racially profiling, arresting and issuing citations for violations of the...
PIERCE COUNTY — New surveillance video shows the terrifying moments as two dogs attack a woman in her 60s. That woman was released from a Tacoma hospital Sunday evening, but her recovery is far from over. Puyallup tribal police are now sharing the surveillance video exclusively with Q13 FOX News, with the hopes that someone recognizes the blue nose pit bulls, that appear to be trained to fight, and can identify their owners. http://q13fox.com/2015/08/02/tribal-police-ask-for-help-identifying-dogs-that-mauled-woman-in-terrify...
