Red Lake Update for COVID-19...
Passengers on state Rep. Dave Baker's Green Lake cruises in western Minnesota are supposed to wear face masks. But the crew won't press those who don't. "If you are not wearing a mask, we will assume you have a medical condition, mental health condition or a disability that makes wearing a face covering intolerable," reads a notice on the company's Facebook page. Across Minnesota, at a weekend rodeo in the northern Minnesota town of Effie, crowds defied state spectator limits for social...
WASHINGTON - Attorney General William Barr defended the aggressive federal law enforcement response to civil unrest in America as he testified for the first time before the House Judiciary Committee, pushing back against angry, skeptical Democrats who said President Donald Trump's administration is unconstitutionally suppressing dissent. The hearing, held Tuesday as the late civil rights icon John Lewis lay in state steps away outside the Capitol, highlighted the wide election-year gulf between...
A Republican state senator who questioned whether federal and Minnesota health officials inflated the number of COVID-19 deaths said Tuesday that the state medical board has dismissed complaints challenging his medical license. Sen. Scott Jensen, a family physician from Chaska, disclosed in early July that the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice was investigating two complaints sparked by remarks comparing COVID-19 to the flu and questioning state and federal guidelines related to tallying...

But for five Twin Cities kids, he's just Grandpa. Summers have been a time to make memories for Osterholm, 67, and his grandchildren, who range in age from 2 to 10. This summer, though, he's only seen them twice since March, and only...
Scores of Minnesotans are receiving packages of seeds in the mail, but they didn't order them. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture said it is not sure what the seeds are and requests anybody who gets a package of the unsolicited seeds not to plant them. "We're uncertain what these seeds may be and why people are receiving these unsolicited packages," said Denise Thiede, the department's seed unit supervisor. "Until we know more, we encourage people to contact us because of the risk they may...
Following Target, Walmart and several other retailers, Best Buy announced Tuesday it will close on Thanksgiving and offer some of its holiday deals earlier.

"And now, the holiday season at Best Buy, including Thanksgiving Day, is going to look different, too." The retailers are trying to mitigate crowds over the busy holiday seasons as the...
WASHINGTON - A day of shuttle diplomacy on Capitol Hill over a coronavirus aid package produced few results Tuesday, with stark differences between the $3 trillion proposal from Democrats and $1 trillion counteroffer from Republicans as millions of Americans' jobless benefits, school reopenings and eviction protections hang in the balance. As top White House negotiators returned for a second day of talks, the leverage is apparent. They are meeting again in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office....
Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan said Tuesday that the housing crisis has never been more clear, prompting an urgent need to use millions from state, county and city partners for three new shelters in Minneapolis. "To be clear, COVID-19 has exacerbated and exposed this crisis — it did not create it," she said during a news conference, flanked by housing advocates in T-shirts stating "Native Americans were never homeless before 1492." The three shelters will provide at least 110 beds total, with one site offering 167 affordable housing units. The p...

On Tuesday morning, July 28, 2020, we were working to correct our 91 Fuel Problem. Over the weekend water built up in the underground tank and some may have pumped out with the product. A Minnesota Petroleum and Northdale Oil representative is coming to assess how the water entered the tank and pump out any remaining water. There should be no way that water can leak into any of the equipment with the current technology. If you purchased 91 Fuel on Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday and have...

July 28, 2020 (SAINT PAUL) — Stressing that a new directive from the White House imperils public health and dangerously undermines transparency during the COVID-19 pandemic, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison today joined a multistate effort urging the Trump Administration to immediately withdraw its new reporting structure that prohibits hospitals from reporting COVID-19 data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and instead creates a system controlled solely by the U.S. Secretary of Health & Human Services. In a letter...
