A THIEF RIVER FALLS COUPLE THAT OWNS HARLAN’S BOATS R US IN MENTOR, HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH FELONY COUNTS OF FAILING TO FILE INCOME TAX RETURNS AND FAILING TO PAY INCOME TAX. THE IRS GAVE SEVERAL REMINDERS TO THE COUPLE BEFORE CHARGES WERE FILED. RECORDS SHOW THAT HARLAN SCOTT KIRKEIDE AND NANCY MARIE KIRKEIDE FAILED TO DO SO DURING THE TAX YEARS OF 2019 THROUGH 2021, AND THAT THEY HAVE A TAX OBLIGATION OF OVER $19,000.
THE MINNESOTA NURSES ASSOCIATION HAS VOTED IN FAVOR A SECOND STRIKE, AND HAVE NOW SAID THAT STRIKE WOULD BEGIN DECEMBER 11 AND LAST THREE WEEKS UNTIL DECEMBER 31.
A STORY EARLIER THIS WEEK TALKED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF MINNESOTA BEING CHOSEN TO MOVE THEIR 2024 PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY TO AN EARLIER DATE. YESTERDAY, THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. MICHIGAN WAS THE MIDWESTERN STATE CHOSE TO DO SO INSTEAD. MINNESOTA’S PRIMARY WILL REMAIN IN EARLY MARCH.
A CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR REINHART ZARLING JR. OF BADGER WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE PHOENIX IN WARROAD ON DECEMBER 11 (11 AM) REINHART WAS 66.
HEATING BILLS WILL BE HIGHER IN MINNESOTA THIS WINTER, AND ENERGY ASSISTANCE FUNDS ARE DOWN FROM A YEAR AGO. RIGHT NOW THE AVERAGE HEATING ASSISTANCE GRANT IS $580, COMPARED TO AN AVERAGE OF $1199 LAST YEAR. THAT IS DUE MOSTLY TO THE FACT THAT THE AGENCY HAD AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN DOLLARS THAT NEARLY DOUBLED THEIR FUNDING. THEY EXPECT NEARLY 125,000 APPLICATIONS FOR THAT PROGRAM.
