Indoor restaurants and bars will stay shut down, but fitness clubs and other venues will reopen under a new plan by Gov. Tim Walz to limit the spread of COVID-19 and buy time for distribution of vaccine against the infectious disease. Minnesota's infections rate has been declining since Nov. 11, but Walz said restrictions are needed, particularly in group settings that have fueled broader spread of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. "This is a killer virus that we've learned much about and...
All elementary schools in Minnesota will be allowed to open for hybrid or in-person instruction as soon as Jan. 18, if they are able to follow a newly expanded list of COVID-19 safety protocols. The Wednesday announcement from Gov. Tim Walz marks a major shift in the state's guidelines for public schools during the pandemic, which had previously pushed most districts to distance learning as COVID-19 spread widely. Middle and high schools will still be subject to the state's original school reope...
Lisa Monet Zarza wasn't quite sure what she'd see when she opened her restaurant at 11 a.m. Wednesday in defiance of Gov. Tim Walz's order closing bars and restaurants to indoor dining. But even she admits the hours of crazy, bustling, nonstop full tables at her Alibi Drinkery in Lakeville caught her by surprise. "It's insane," she said of the overflow crowd. "We've got people I've never seen before driving in from an hour away, just to show their support." The state acted quickly, issuing a...
Indigenous women and girls face an epidemic of violence and are far more likely than other groups in Minnesota to be murdered or to go missing, according to new state research. Along with higher rates of homicide, American Indian women and girls make up about 15% of female missing persons cases every month despite being less than 1% of the state's population. "For far too long, Native women have been, at best, invisible, and at worst, disposable," Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan said in a statement....
The COVID-19 vaccine is rolling out, but it will be months before enough people get the shots to end to the pandemic. Mitigation measures need to remain in place, which means prioritizing among the many activities that Minnesotans long to resume: classroom instruction, youth sports, social gatherings, dining out. "All of the above" is not yet an option. While cases are trending down in Minnesota after Gov. Tim Walz hit a four-week "pause" beginning Nov. 21, infections are still at a high level...
Winter sports for high school and youth teams can hold practice on Jan. 4 with the hope, but no assurance yet, of playing games again by the middle of January. Gov. Tim Walz announced Wednesday that the state is extending the four-week pause on youth and adult sports, set to expire Friday night, for two more weeks. The pause had been enacted to help slow fast-moving community spread of the COVID-19 virus. "We need to get kids playing again, we know that,'' Walz said in a video presentation to...
Minnesota elementary schools can reopen as soon as Jan. 18 if they can meet safety protocols outlined by the state Wednesday. Here's what that might mean for your school district. Q: Will all schools be able to have in-person instruction in January? A: No. The revised guidelines announced Dec. 16 apply only to elementary schools and early learning programs.

WASHINGTON - Congressional negotiators closed in Wednesday on a $900 billion COVID-19 economic relief package that would deliver additional help to businesses, $300 per week jobless checks, and $600 stimulus payments to most Americans. But there was no deal quite yet. The long-delayed measure was coming together as Capitol Hill combatants finally fashioned difficult compromises, often at the expense of more ambitious Democratic wishes for the legislation, to complete the second major relief...
“I’m asking all businesses affected by executive orders to comply with them voluntarily — which the vast majority of Minnesota businesses are already doing. I’m also asking businesses that are considering reopening in defiance of executive orders not to do it. You’re putting people at risk. People will get sick and die because of you. Not only from COVID-19: if someone has a heart attack or a stroke or a car accident and dies because they can’t get an ICU bed that’s being used by someone who got COVID at your establishment, or got it from s...
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) today announced it has taken a series of enforcement actions against Mission Tavern, a restaurant in Merrifield, Minn., for repeated violations of requirements designed to protect the restaurant’s employees, customers and community from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Attorney General Ellison issued the following statement: “My job and my duty is to protect Minnesotans. People like to ask, what is the Attorney General going to do? What they should be asking is, what is coronavirus going to do? Coronavirus is deadly and it’s continuing to spread:...

BERKELEY, CA—DEC. 16, 2020—Shareholder representative As You Sow filed shareholder proposals at four of the largest U.S. gas and electric utilities, Dominion Energy, DTE Energy, Duke Energy, and Southern Company, raising concerns about the companies’ continued investments in natural gas. Shareholders are concerned that these utilities are claiming “Paris-alignment” while remaining on a path toward stranded asset risk. Natural gas is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) with 84 times the climate impact of carbon dioxide. The natural gas supply chain le...
