ST. PAUL KILLING GETS A SPOTLIGHT ON NBC’S ‘DATELINE’

target="_blank" rel="noopener">delve into the 2010 killing of Heidi Firkus</a>
of St. Paul. “Jurors earlier this year found Firkus’ husband, Nicholas, guilty
of first-degree murder. Nicholas Firkus, then 27, told police an intruder broke
into their home in the Hamline-Midway area. <strong>He said he armed himself
with a shotgun and, during a struggle with the unknown man, the gun went
off</strong> and Heidi was shot in the back.” In April ABC’s “20/20” featured
the case as well.</p> <p>Stevens County Times <a

Donnelly City Council Member Jacob Eystad following a request to assist in
recording council meetings. “‘As Erdman presented her case for the council to
assist in recording their meetings, Council Member Jacob Eystad raised his voice
and used profanity. “Why don’t you (f) go to the cities and (f) interview the
legislature and find out why we can’t (f) get funds to put a sewer system in the
town,’ he yelled at her, she said.”</p> <p>From WCCO and CBS News: <a

garner enough votes to ascend to Speaker of the House. In a third House vote on
Friday morning <strong>the Ohio Republican got fewer votes for speaker than he
did in the two previous tries. </strong>Minnesota’s Rep. Tom Emmer received one
vote for speaker, coming from Colorado Republican, Rep. Ken Buck.</p> <p>MPR
