With a few days to go, here’s what MN Legislature has left

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 00:24:26 GMT

Time is running out for Minnesota lawmakers to strike a big bipartisan deal at the Capitol.The Legislature has to adjourn by midnight on Monday and so far the new Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party trifecta in control of state government hasn’t found much in the way of agreement with Republicans. Lawmakers have passed nearly a dozen budget bills so far and most of them were approved along party lines.That doesn’t mean there isn’t a chance for a deal. There are still significant budget bills that need to be completed, including those dealing with taxes, health and human services, transportation and state infrastructure projects.The infrastructure bill — called a bonding bill because the state typically borrows money to fund capital projects — is the vehicle for a compromise because it requires a super majority in both chambers.In exchange for votes on an infrastructure bill, Senate Republicans have pushed DFLers to return more of the state’s $17.5 billi...

The other 11 Finals, the non-LeBron tilts? 15.2 million. A drop of 11.6%.So, yeah, forgive Nuggets Nation for raising an eyebrow every time James and Anthony Davis start their nightly march to the free throw line. Or raising two.“(Denver fans) need to stop that,” longtime NBA sharpshooter and current Turner Sports analyst Reggie Miller said before Nuggets-Lakers Game 2 on Thursday night at Ball Arena. “Control the things you can control. They need to stop that. Seriously.“The Lakers, are they going to get calls? Yeah. OK. Big deal. So does (Nikola) Jokic. And so does Jamal Murray. Control the things that you can control at both ends of the floor because there’s a lot of things that you can clean up. Because you know that Coach (Darvin) Ham and the Lakers ...

SAN FRANCISCO — A city resident who lost his brother, son, and wife in a series of tragic incidents has been sentenced to federal prison for 41 months, despite having been acquitted in January of possessing the bullet that killed his wife, court records show.The story of 44-year-old Omar Pope dates back to last year, when federal prosecutors charged him with two felony counts: being a felon in possession of a loaded gun in May 2022, and possessing the bullet that killed his wife in December 2021, as the couple struggled over a pistol inside their home.Pope made the unusual move of pleading guilty to the May possession charge and taking the second count to trial.
