  • Construction continues on Red Lake Nation solar portfolio in Northern Minnesota

    Kelly Pickerel, Solar Power World|Oct 14, 2020

    One of Northern Minnesota’s largest solar projects continues this fall with the second of 12 planned commercial-scale installations. In February 2016, Red Lake Tribal leaders announced plans to begin a solar project capable of powering every casino and government building, in addition to the Red Lake Nation College campus in Northern Minnesota. The savings from solar will save the tribe’s commercial fishery from irreparable damage, as they monitor the slow increase of mercury levels in loc...

  • Supreme Court halts census in latest twist of 2020 count

    Oct 14, 2020

    The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that the Trump administration can stop census field operations early, ending a lawsuit that warned the truncated schedule will lead to minorities being undercounted in the crucial once-a-decade head count. Still, the decision was not a total loss for the plaintiffs, who managed to get nearly two extra weeks of counting people as the case made its way through the courts. The Supreme Court justices' ruling came as the nation's largest association of...

  • National Guard called in to help contain COVID outbreaks at two Minnesota nursing homes

    Oct 14, 2020

    In a troubling sign of COVID-19's resurgence, the Minnesota National Guard has been called in to provide emergency staffing support at two nursing homes struggling to contain large and deadly outbreaks of the respiratory disease. Over the past 10 days, the National Guard has dispatched small teams of medical professionals to facilities at opposite ends of the state where dozens of residents and staff have been sickened, and where staffing levels became so depleted that they turned to the state...

  • Barrett bats away tough Democratic confirmation probing

    Oct 14, 2020

    WASHINGTON - Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett batted away Democrats' skeptical questions Tuesday on abortion, health care and a possible disputed-election fight over transferring presidential power, insisting in a long and lively confirmation hearing she would bring no personal agenda to the court but decide cases "as they come." The 48-year-old appellate court judge declared her conservative views with often colloquial language, but refused many specifics. She declined to say whether...

  • Minnesota Senate GOP report blames Gov. Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey for slow riot response

    Oct 14, 2020

    A report by Minnesota Senate Republicans three weeks before the election argues that DFL Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey failed to do enough to quell the days of looting and arson that followed the police killing of George Floyd. The 61-page report, compiled after a series of summer hearings on the topic, blames what Republicans have long argued was an apparent lack of understanding of the quickly escalating situation and a hesitation to deploy additional law enforcement to end...

  • Minnesota youth sports play on unevenly as indoor seasons approach

    Oct 14, 2020

    The Ordner family from Brooklyn Park can tell you all about trying to play youth sports in a pandemic. Six-year-old Cameron practiced karate on Zoom in March until the weather warmed up in May and June, then switched to a parking lot before returning indoors. Older brother Caleb, 12, was set to play a full slate of 12U traveling baseball games this summer, including a trip to Cooperstown. But instead of having about 50 games, the season consisted of about a dozen. And without the heralded...

  • Social Security recipients will see modest rise for 2021: 'Something's got to give'

    Oct 14, 2020

    WASHINGTON - Social Security recipients will get a modest 1.3% cost-of living-increase in 2021, but that might be small comfort amid worries about the coronavirus and its consequences for older people. The increase amounts to $20 a month for the average retired worker, according to estimates released Tuesday by the Social Security Administration. That's a little less than this year's 1.6% cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA. The COLA affects the personal finances of about 1 in 5 Americans,...

  • Enrollment Drops Worry Public Schools as Pandemic Persists

    Oct 14, 2020

    FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Rather than wait to see how her children's Florida public school would teach students this fall, Erica Chao enrolled her two daughters in a private school that seemed better positioned to provide instruction online during the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic. The virtual lessons that Emily, 8, and Annabelle, 6, received in the spring while enrolled at a Miami-Dade County elementary school became a "free for all," Chao said. The private school classes, by...

  • What the Congressional Stalemate Over Relief Aid Means for Districts' Budgets

    Oct 14, 2020

    President Donald Trump's decision to call off any relief aid for low-income school districts until after the election will have severe implications for this year's topsy-turvy K-12 budget cycle. All this summer, state legislators—leery of cutting K-12 aid before a pivotal election—have anticipated a second round of relief aid to help shore up their budgets. California lawmakers, in fact, wrote a second federal relief package into their now-enacted state budget. (It may now have to be revised). With new federal aid delayed for at least ano...

  • Supreme Court says Trump administration can shut down census count now, despite fears of an undercount

    Oct 14, 2020

    The Trump administration may shut down the census count now, after the Supreme Court on Tuesday put on hold a judicial order keeping the count going through the end of the month. The court, as is common in emergency applications, did not provide a reason. Justice Sonia Sotomayor was the only justice to record her dissent. “The harms caused by rushing this year’s census count are irreparable,” Sotomayor wrote. “And respondents will suffer their lasting impact for at least the next 10 years.” https://www.texastribune.org/2020/...

  • The business interests behind vaccine trials work against people of color

    Oct 14, 2020

    In the southern US, Matt Maxwell has been working for months to recruit participants for ongoing Covid-19 vaccine trials. As the chief executive officer of Accel Clinical Services, a private clinic that runs trials in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, he’s used to the logistical difficulty of assembling thousands of people across hundreds of miles. With these trials, though, he’s running into a new challenge. “I’ve never had a study where someone calls and says we need three more Hispanic patients today,” says Maxwell. “And we’re having those...
