LEWISTON, MINN. - Dairy farmer Carey Tweten leans back and doffs his dusty baseball cap, explaining the latest ax to fall on his family farm. It's not just the potential loss of milk in schools or plummeting prices that worry him, but troubles facing the farm's buyer, the historic Hastings Creamery. The creamery buys from dozens of Minnesota and Wisconsin dairy farmers and daily processes 150,000 pounds of raw milk at its plant, which was built in 1955. Since June, however, that facility has...
The new marijuana laws in Minnesota are causing headaches for employers. Take Paul Blom, who deals with the complexity of them as a member of his North Loop condo board and as chief executive of a home health care agency. The state joins 22 others on Aug. 1 when it decriminalizes the recreational use of cannabis. The shift is emboldening people to smoke marijuana in new places - even if not permissible under Minnesota's new law, Blom said. https://www.startribune.com/minnesot...
Minnesota will raise the minimum wage for more than 1,000 state government workers - and possibly thousands more - to $20 per hour under a tentative contract agreement announced by the state's largest public sector employee union. The agreement, which still must be ratified by rank-and-file union members, is nearly double the state's minimum wage of $10.59 per hour and higher than the more than $15 per hour minimum wage required by the city of Minneapolis. It would go into effect as soon as...

A Minneapolis City Council committee approved a $275,000 payout Monday to settle a lawsuit from a man who said a police officer beat him during a traffic stop, then lied about evidence to obtain a search warrant for his home. Andre Moore, 52, filed a federal lawsuit a year ago alleging Minneapolis police officers Tony Partyka, Neal Walsh and others first violated his constitutional rights by "unnecessarily and recklessly using excessive force to pull Moore from his vehicle, throw him to the...

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday blasted organizers of a weekend revolt, the gravest threat yet to his power, as ''traitors'' who played into the hands of Ukraine's government and its allies. Speaking in a stern tone and looking tired in a five-minute TV address near midnight, Putin sought to project stability. He tried to strike a balance between criticizing the uprising's perpetrators to prevent another crisis, and not antagonizing the bulk of the mercenaries and their hardline...

DALLAS - Scorching temperatures brought on by a ''heat dome'' have taxed the Texas power grid and threaten to bring record highs to the state before they are expected to expand to other parts of the U.S. during the coming week, putting even more people at risk.

PINE RIDGE, South Dakota - It's been 147 years since the Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho Nations defeated Gen. George Custer and the Seventh Cavalry in a historic win at the Battle of Greasy Grass, also known as Little Bighorn. Although it is believed to have been the first time an Indigenous nation ever captured the U.S. flag in battle, the victory is more than a battle for Indigenous people. It was an historic win that guaranteed their sovereignty for generations to come. The first-ever Pine...
