  • 'Secret, not a secret': Southwestern Minnesota meatpacking towns react to child labor allegations

    Nov 28, 2022

    WORTHINGTON, MINN. - In a basement office, across the street from the Casey's convenience store and just a block from the high school football field, a sign on the window for PSSI, a meatpacking janitorial service, announces nearly $20 an hour pay. Inside, three women sit around a laptop and desk. One woman - who did not identify herself - stood and handed over a card with a Wisconsin area code. "They'll answer any question you have," she told reporters. "We are not spokespeople."...

  • Compute North - flying high just months ago - now part of crypto bankruptcy wave

    Nov 28, 2022

    In February, now-bankrupt Compute North looked to be on a fast track to an initial public offering. The Eden Prairie-based company, co-founded by local tech entrepreneur Dave Perrill, had just raised $385 million to build state-of-the-art data centers for cryptocurrency miners. Bitcoin was booming. And the Super Bowl was rife with crypto ads. Within months, bitcoin's price collapsed and a parade of crypto companies - including Compute North - went bust. As crypto cratered, Compute North's main...

  • Ga. Senate runoff between Warnock, Walker has bitter closing

    Nov 28, 2022

    WARNER ROBINS, Ga. - Ads with the candidates' ex-wives. Cries of "liar" flying in both directions. Stories of a squalid apartment building and abortions under pressure. Questioning an opponent's independence. His intellect. His mental stability. His religious faith. The extended Senate campaign in Georgia between the Democratic incumbent, Raphael Warnock, and his Republican challenger, football legend Herschel Walker, has grown increasingly bitter as their Dec. 6 runoff nears. With Democrats...

  • New owners make cold-blooded investment in ice fishing on Lake of the Woods

    Nov 28, 2022

    They just invested $20 million in the future of fishing on Lake of the Woods, so there's nothing "chill" about this four-month ice season for business partners Joe Swanson and Pipasu Soni. In a major behind-the-scenes deal finalized this year, the two Minnesotans bought out four owner-operated resorts in the Wheelers Point area. Sportsman's Lodge, Border View Lodge, Wheelers Point Resort and Rainy River Resort now provide fishing vacations under the same corporate umbrella while trying to...

  • Minnesota's legalization of marijuana will be the nation's best

    Nov 28, 2022

    When I started working on a bill in 2019 to legalize cannabis for adult use, Minnesota was not ready for that idea to become law. Proposals were confused and contradictory. Neither the House nor the Senate DFL had the votes necessary to pass it, and Republicans in the Senate were actively blocking cannabis legalization for their political benefit. Most important, Minnesotans had not been heard on what goals lawmakers should pursue in creating a new cannabis marketplace. So much has changed in...

  • Advocates, opponents prepare for fight over marijuana legalization in Minnesota

    Nov 28, 2022

    Minnesota cannabis advocates have waited years for this moment: Democrats who support legalizing marijuana now control the governor's office and the state Legislature, and they are signaling they could act on the issue next year. The state's medical cannabis manufacturers, hemp-product retailers and industry groups are poised to have an influential say in the creation of a recreational marijuana market, as are opponents concerned about the drug's effect on consumers. Many are buzzing about the...

  • Minneapolis Native Joe Rainey thankful to be 'elevating powwow music'

    Nov 28, 2022

    Amid the mishmash of indie-rockers and electronic acts at Bon Iver's Eaux Claires music festivals in the late-2010s, Joe Rainey and his dramatic style of singing and drumming stood out like a loud wolf's howl on a still summer night. "The thing that really struck me was the physical intensity of powwow singing, the natural volume," Minneapolis multi-instrumentalist Andrew Broder recalled. A half-decade later - with help from Broder and the attention he earned at those festivals - Rainey is...

    Nov 28, 2022

    State prosecutors in the United Republic of Tanzania dropped murder charges this week against 24 Indigenous Maasai, accused of killing a police officer during a state-sponsored eviction campaign to remove Maasai from their land and create a protected game reserve. The incident, which occurred in June, involved hundreds of security officers attempting to remove Maasai people from their homelands in Loliondo, in Northern Tanzania, and left dozens of Maasai injured or shot. In the aftermath, many Maasai fled across the border to Kenya for medical...
