  • W-15J the Honorable Tim Walz Governor of Minnesota 130 State
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION 5 77 WEST JACKSON BOULEVARD CHICAGO, IL 60604-3590 REPLY TO THE ATTENTION OF: W-15J The Honorable Tim Walz Governor of Minnesota 130 State Capitol 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. St. Paul, Minnesota 55155-1611 Dear Governor Walz: The Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians (the Tribe) has applied to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for program authorization under sections 518, 303, and 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Approval of the application would allow the Tribe to adopt, review, and revise water quality standards pursuant to Section 303(c) of the CWA and to certify that discharges comply with those water quality standards pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA, for all surface waters within the Red Lake Reservation and on certain tribally held trust lands outside the Reservation. In accordance with Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) §131.8(c)(2)-(3), EPA is requesting comments from the State of Minnesota on the Tribe’s assertion of authority to regulate surface water quality on the lands described above. A copy of the complete application and supporting maps can be found online at: https://www.epa.gov/mn/red-lake-band-chippewa- indians-minnesota-application-treatment-state-water-quality-standards. In addition to this written notice, EPA will issue a public notice in the Bemidji Pioneer and the Red Lake Nation News. The public notice will notify interested parties of the request for comments and, at the request of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), will advise them to send comments on the Tribe’s assertion of authority to EPA rather than to the State of Minnesota.

  • Presidential Election Results
    2016 Election Overview The outcome of the 2016 elections has definitely altered the landscape for transportation policy and funding initiatives. From the Presidency down to state legislative races, we face a new legislative dynamic and many new faces. What hasn’t changed: the huge need for resources to increase the nation’s and the state’s investment in the transportation system and bipartisan agreement on that fact. Prior to the outcome of Tuesday’s election we were hearing from candidates on both sides of the aisle that increasing investments in infrastructure was an area of agreement. Candidates for Minnesota’s legislature brought up the need for a comprehensive, long-term transportation funding package over and over again in news stories, candidate profiles and candidate forums. We were hearing more from candidates about transportation than we have in previous election cycles. Voters in other states, made their voices heard by approving ballot initiatives in 22 states that increased and stabilized funding for transportation. As we head into 2017, transportation advocates have a huge opportunity to capitalize on the widespread support for infrastructure improvements. However, it will take the involvement of transportation advocates across the state making their voices heard to rise above partisan squabbling and the many other issues that will be on the table. National Presidential Election Results Electoral Votes Needed to Win: 270 *Remaining: 16 Trump (R) Electoral Votes 290 Popular Vote 60,375,961 Clinton (D) Electoral Votes 232 Popular Vote 61,047,207 Minnesota Clinton (D) percent 46.9% votes 1,366,676 Trump (R) percent 45.4% votes 1,322,891 The race for the White House defied the polls and expectations as Donald Trump won more than the needed 270 votes in the electoral college while Hillary Clinton narrowly won the popular vote.

The Office of " Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison helplng people afford their lives and live with dignity and respect - www.ag.state.mn.us February 19, 2021 The Honorable Peter A. Cahill Hennepin County Courthouse 300 Sixth Street South Minneapolis, MN 55487 Re: State v. Chauvin, Kueng, Lane, and Thao Court File No. 27-CR-20-12646, 27-CR-20-12953, 27-CR—20-12951, 27-CR-20-12646 Dear Judge Cahill: I made no contribution of any kind to the recent New York Times article (dated 2/10/21) in which the reporter asserts that Derek Chauvin was willing to plead guilty to third degree murder in state court in exchange for an agreement of non-prosecution for federal criminal charges. No one on our prosecution team contributed to the New York Times report of an alleged plea deal by Chauvin or the alleged involvement of the then-US. Attorney General. Defense counsel’s allegations are simply not true. We are mindful of our responsibilities under Rules 3.8 and 3.3 of the Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct. I conducted a quick internet search of news articles about this alleged plea negotiation. It turns out that these alleged plea negotiations are hardly news at all. I found the following stories below, with relevant excerpts: Fox 9: Eli-Minneapolis police officer Chauvin was in talks to plead gum before arrest |June 9, 202M At the time, Chauvin was represented by Tom Kelly, who declined to comment.

  • Minn. GOP Wants Bachmann for Sen., Pawlenty for Pres
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 10, 2010 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Minn. GOP wants Bachmann for Sen., Pawlenty for Pres. Raleigh, N.C. – Despite getting no love from the state’s at-large electorate against President Obama in PPP’s Wednesday release, outgoing Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is the slim favorite of his own party faithful to get the state’s Republican National Convention delegates. In the race to take on popular Senator Amy Klobuchar, however, he does less well despite coming closest to beating Klobuchar in Tuesday’s look at the general election. Instead, newly empowered Congresswoman Michele Bachman is overwhelmingly the darling of hardcore GOP voters. Bachmann pulls 36% support from usual GOP primary voters, with a wide margin over Pawlenty’s 20%, Norm Coleman’s 14%, and a host of prospective contenders bunched in single digits: 8th-District Congressman-elect Chip Cravaack at 7%, Tom Emmer at 6%, 2nd-District Congressman John Kline at 5%, state legislator Laura Brod at 4%, and Erik Paulsen at 2%, with 6% undecided or favoring someone else. Pawlenty trails Klobuchar by only ten points, versus Bachmann’s 18 and Coleman’s 14. There is a huge ideological divide at play. Bachmann, founder of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus, gets a whopping 42% from the conservative supermajority, which makes up almost three-quarters of the electorate. That puts her far ahead of second-place Pawlenty’s 19%.

  • Capitol Insurrection at Center of Conservative Movement
    Capitol Insurrection At Center Of Conservative Movement: At Least 43 Governors, Senators And Members Of Congress Have Ties To Groups That Planned January 6th Rally And Riots. SUMMARY: On January 6, 2021, a rally in support of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election “turned deadly” when thousands of people stormed the U.S. Capitol at Donald Trump’s urging. Even Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who rarely broke with Trump, has explicitly said, “the mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the President and other powerful people.” These “other powerful people” include a vast array of conservative officials and Trump allies who perpetuated false claims of fraud in the 2020 election after enjoying critical support from the groups that fueled the Capitol riot. In fact, at least 43 current Governors or elected federal office holders have direct ties to the groups that helped plan the January 6th rally, along with at least 15 members of Donald Trump’s former administration. The links that these Trump-allied officials have to these groups are: Turning Point Action, an arm of right-wing Turning Point USA, claimed to send “80+ buses full of patriots” to the rally that led to the Capitol riot, claiming the event would be one of the most “consequential” in U.S. history. • The group spent over $1.5 million supporting Trump and his Georgia senate allies who claimed the election was fraudulent and supported efforts to overturn it. • The organization hosted Trump at an event where he claimed Democrats were trying to “rig the election,” which he said would be “the most corrupt election in the history of our country.” • At a Turning Point USA event, Rep.
