Former radio host Jason Lewis and former state Sen. John Howe hammered each other in a Thursday forum over stadium subsidies and domestic policy as they tried to define themselves as Republicans and ultimately as candidates who could win in a complicated district. Lewis and Howe were among five GOP candidates debating at an Inver Grove Heights church over who would be the best replacement for outgoing U.S. Rep. John Kline, a Republican who has represented the swing district for more than a decade. Republican activists and others packed into...
An outside consultant recommended Thursday that the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office hire more detention deputies to work in the jail and courthouse instead of using more expensive sworn deputies in those positions. The recommendation was made in a 156-page study by Matrix Consulting Group. After a spike in overtime in the Sheriff’s Office a couple of years ago, the county had agreed to spend up to $100,000 for the study by the California company. http://www.startribune.com/report-hennepin-sheriff-should-move-toward-more-civ...
A St. Paul woman covered her month-old son’s mouth with a blanket Wednesday morning and then pressed a hand into his face, alternating hands for five minutes until the child stopped crying and moving, according to a murder charge filed Thursday.

Gasoline prices in Minnesota are slipping below $2 per gallon and likely are headed even lower. Some stations in the Twin Cities began selling regular gas for under $2 in recent days, although on average, metro-area gasoline sells at $2.08 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.com, the crowdsourced website. When Danny Ripka of Minneapolis pulled into a BP station at 36th Street and Lyndale Avenue South on Thursday, his car’s amber low-fuel light was on. As he waited in line for an open pump, he watched one driver confront another motorist about j...
SAN DIEGO — More Mexicans are leaving than moving into the United States, reversing the flow of a half-century of mass migration, according to a study published Thursday. The Pew Research Center found that slightly more than 1 million Mexicans and their families, including American-born children, left the U.S. for Mexico from 2009 to 2014. During the same five years, 870,000 Mexicans came to the U.S., resulting in a net flow to Mexico of 140,000. http://www.startribune.com/citing-jobs-and-family-more-mexicans-are-leaving-the...
PARIS — French investigators tracked down the alleged ringleader of last week's Paris bloodshed after receiving a startling tipoff: The Islamic militant wasn't in Syria but in Europe, plotting yet another attack. A discarded cellphone found near a bloodied concert hall led them to his cousin, and then to a suburban Paris apartment where both died in a hail of bullets and explosions. As a manhunt intensified Thursday for a fugitive connected to the carnage, details emerged about the intelligence operation that allowed authorities to zero in o...
WASHINGTON — What's for dinner? Before long, it may well be genetically modified salmon, the first such altered animal cleared for human consumption in the United States. Critics call it "frankenfish," but the Food and Drug Administration granted its approval on Thursday, saying the faster-growing salmon is safe to eat. It could be available in a couple of years. "There are no biologically relevant differences in the nutritional profile of AquAdvantage Salmon compared to that of other farm-raised Atlantic salmon," the agency said. h...

The Senate Indian Affairs Committee will be taking a look at the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 at a hearing next month. President Barack Obama signed H.R.725, a bill that included the Tribal Law and Order Act, on July 29, 2010.

A landmark apology from the Bureau of Indian Affairs came after the White House wouldn't allow then-president Bill Clinton to apologize for the taking of the Black Hills, the former director of the agency said on Wednesday. Clinton's visit to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, the home of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, in July 1999 was historic in itself. A sitting president hadn't been to Indian Country for decades. That's why the Black Hills apology came up as one of the "deliverables" for the event, recalled former Assistant Secretary for...
The regional chief for Ontario First Nations says too many people are dying tragically in Thunder Bay, Ont. and he wants to help develop "a statement of common concern" to address the issue. On Wednesday, Isadore Day attended the inquest into the deaths of seven First Nations students in Thunder Bay, but said his concern are both broader and more urgent than the inquest mandate can deliver. "There is a significant number of people dying in Thunder Bay for a variety of tragic reasons," Day said, adding it is not uncommon for two First Nations...
