Nearly $100 million has been spent on general-election TV advertisements in the presidential race since the primary season ended, but Donald Trump's campaign still hasn't spent a single cent on one of them.
This lack of advertising is all more striking given Trump's deficit in the polls -- as well as the recent influx of campaign contributions he's reportedly raked in.
Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign has now spent $52 million on ads, and pro-Clinton outside groups have chipped in an additional $39 million, according to ad-spending data from Advertising Analytics.

The cost of the Southwest light-rail line has increased — again. This time, by $19 million.
The price tag of the 14.5-mile line linking downtown Minneapolis with Eden Prairie is now $1.858 billion. Although the Metropolitan Council, the regional planning body that is building the project, is quick to note that about half of the $19 million increase will be borne by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), it leaves local taxpayers responsible for $9.5 million.

The complaint, filed Monday in Hennepin County District Court, asks that a judge order the council to reverse its decision and include the proposal on the ballot in November. Advocates from the groups 15 Now, Neighborhoods Organizing for Change and Centro de Trabajadores Unidos en Lucha had gathered the required number of signatures to send a charter-amendment question to voters. The proposal would raise the city's minimum wage to $15 per hour over the next several years, making it among the highest in the country.

Members of the business community are speaking out about St. Paul’s proposed sick leave rules — with messages ranging from distrust and frustration about the process to unwavering support.
A group of business owners who gathered Monday morning at Workhorse Coffee Bar, holding signs proclaiming “another small business supporting earned sick & safe time,” were firmly in the second camp.

Law enforcement from more than 300 agencies across Minnesota set out to look for speeding drivers, and they found them.
Officers wrote 13,214 citations during a statewide speed enforcement between July 8 and 22. That was far fewer than the 16,410 tickets issued during a similar two-week crack down in July 2015. It's unclear if that means Minnesotans are speeding less or more adept at not getting caught.

Neighbors called in the fire early Saturday morning as they saw smoke coming outside of the man's home. Firefighters extinguished a fire in the basement and found a 64-year-old man dead in a living room chair. They found no other victims.

The changes, made late last month, largely focus on “sanctity of life.” With that comes de-escalation of dangerous situations. The practice was encouraged in the past, but was never a requirement.
As part of the training, officers have been taught to consider what factors may contribute to a lack of compliance, such as language barriers, drug and alcohol use, or a mental crisis. The policy also urges officers to announce their intent to use force before actually doing so.
The current class of 32 police recruits will be the first to receive the new de-escalation training, department officials said. Other changes include the requirement for officers to intervene if they witness improper use of force by their colleagues, and to report it to their supervisor and internal affairs.

But banning the box may actually be hurting some of the exact groups of people it was designed to help, according to a few new studies. In a recent paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research, Jennifer L. Doleac of the University of Virginia's Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and Benjamin Hansen of the University of Oregon looked at how the implementation of ban-the-box policies affected the probability of employment for young, low-skilled, black and Hispanic men. They found that ban-the-box policies decreased the probability of being employed by 5.1 percent for young, low-skilled black men, and 2.9 percent for young, low-skilled Hispanic men.

The day after the first big event at U.S. Bank Stadium, the overriding complaint about how it went could be captured in one word: Lines.
The longest ones — if a throng of people packed shoulder to shoulder can be called a line — formed on light-rail platforms outside the downtown Minneapolis stadium after Wednesday night’s sold-out professional soccer match, which drew 64,101 fans.

The president of the St. Paul police union spoke out Thursday against what he called "absolutely disgusting" behavior from weeks of protest outside the governor's residence in the wake of Philando Castile's shooting death.
St. Paul Police Federation President Dave Titus said the protesters were mostly peaceful, but that the media, city officials and the public have ignored those who antagonized police officers during a day of mass arrests in late July.

Fewer parking lots on major streets and more doors facing the sidewalk are among tighter design rules city leaders are mulling to make the greater Uptown area more walkable.
City staff are developing a special district to regulate the look and orientation of new developments along the four main arteries that form the triangular “wedge” area – Hennepin, Lyndale and Lagoon Aves., and Lake Street. The proposal gets its first airing Thursday night at a city planning commission committee.

The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a southern Minnesota high school student who accidentally brought a pocketknife to school shouldn’t have been expelled.
Alyssa Drescher was expelled in 2014 for the final six weeks of her junior year. She said she left a 3-inch knife in her purse by accident after doing chores on her boyfriend's farm. It was found during an announced locker search.
