Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:25:10 GMT

Voters in the St, Anthony-New Brighton School District will decide on two levy referendums Tuesday.The first question is for a $1.7 milliion a year operating levy. The levy, which would start in 2025 and run for 10 years, would fund recruitment and retention of staff and support academic achievement for students, according the district web site. If approved, an average St. Anthony home valued at $375,000 would see a property tax increase of $36 per month.The other ballot question seeks to continue a capital projects levy passed in 2014 that provides funding for classroom resources such as books, materials, computers and software.

Vikings at Falcons: What to know ahead of Week 9 matchup

Here are some things to know before the Vikings travel to play the Falcons in Atlanta on Sunday:Vikings at PackersWhen: 12 p.m. SundayWhere: Mercedes Benz StadiumTV: FOXRadio: KFANLine: Falcons – 3.5Over/Under: 37.5Keys for the Vikings— This will be the first NFL start for rookie quarterback Jaren Hall, and thus, it’s on head coach Kevin O’Connell to make things easier on him. Maybe that means establishing the run. Maybe that means quick passes to tight end T.J. Hockenson. Maybe that means rolling Hall out so he only has to read half of the field. Whatever the game plan is, keeping Hall comfortable will be important, especially if the Vikings want to walk away with a win.— On the flip side, the Vikings might be able to get after veteran quarterback Taylor Heinicke, who will be starting for the Falcons. He has the reputation of a gunslinger, meaning if the Vikings force him into some bad decisions, there could be turnovers waiting on the other end.Keys for the Falcons— Th...

ALBANY,N.Y. (NEWS10)---While there isn’t shortage of milk here in New York State, across the country there is a supply chain issue with half-pint milk cartons."We are supplying the schools with milk," said Kevin Ellis, CEO of Upstate Niagara Cooperative. "The children are getting the milk. And if we aren’t able to get half-pints, we will have milk in schools in one form or another."Upstate Niagara Cooperative represents 260 farmers across the state. According to Ellis, there are only a few suppliers in the United States that produce half-pint cartons, and one of them is facing challenges."We had our cartons shorted about 25%," explained Ellis. "So, that left us in a precarious predicament, where we proactively sent out a letter to all the schools, institutions, and hospitals, that if we ran into supply issues on half pints, we may have to switch to half gallons and gallons---which we have plenty of capacity to do."In a letter to School Food Service Providers, New York State’s Educat...

If elected, Arbige wants to focus on government transparency and the city's finances.The local pastor acknowledges the city does have a surplus. But he adds, it's not because of the mayor."That's mostly because of the sales tax revenue we get from the county and from the ambulance revenue we get, so it's nothing that the mayor's policies really have had any impact on," said Arbige. He adds, "if anything, we should have a greater surplus but we've been spending money at such an alarming rate in the last two years.Arbige sat down with NEWS10 to discuss the issues facing Amsterdam.
