WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump is considering oil billionaire Harold Hamm and North Dakota Congressman Kevin Cramer to lead the Department of Energy. Trump is also considering venture capitalist Robert Grady for the top energy job. That’s according to a transition planning document obtained by The Associated Press. Grady, who worked in President George H.W. Bush’s administration, is also listed on the document as a possible pick to lead the Interior Department. The planning document includes several energy and environmental priorities for the next administration, including repealing the Clean Power Plan. The plan was introduced by the Obama administration and aims to limit carbon pollution from power plants.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a large group of Dakota Access protesters has caused the state Capitol in Bismarck to be locked down.

Highway Patrol Lt. Tom Iverson says a “large number of protesters” had gathered outside the building Monday morning. He says the Capitol was locked to avoid them gathering inside the building. The patrol is in charge of Capitol security.

Several troopers were patrolling the Capitol and the grounds.

Earlier this month, more than a dozen protesters were arrested in the judicial wing of the Capitol in Bismarck. Highway Patrol Lt. Tom Iverson said the protesters were sitting, chanting and singing and refused orders to leave. Three other people who refused orders to leave the governor’s residence on the Capitol grounds were also arrested

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP)   Groups protesting the construction of an oil pipeline through the Midwest are planning more than 200 protest actions across the country Tuesday seeking to draw the attention of President Barack Obama.

Rallies are to include events at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers offices in many states while other locations include federal buildings and offices of banks that have helped finance the project.

Protests are planned in every state but Rhode Island and Mississippi, but organizers say they’re working on getting events in every state.

The groups, including the Indigenous Environmental Network, Honor the Earth and Greenpeace USA want Obama to permanently halt the construction of the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline, the focus of confrontations between police and protesters in North Dakota.

The pipeline is to run beneath a lake that provides drinking water to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, which says the pipeline threatens drinking water and cultural sites.

The project also crosses South Dakota, Iowa and enters into Illinois.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s superintendent expects state education standards to remain the same after President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office.

The Bismarck Tribune reports North Dakota has been crafting a state plan in accordance with the federal Every Student Succeeds Act since May. The law superseded the No Child Left Behind law last year and gives states more flexibility on student testing and academic standards.

The state’s accountability plan is expected to be submitted to federal officials in January and to go into effect in July.

U.S. Secretary of Education John King Jr. is writing the law’s rules and regulations, but Trump’s pick for education secretary will take over that work next year. It’s unclear whether the law’s parameters might change under Trump.

North Dakota’s superintendent Kirsten Baesler says officials haven’t heard much about Trump’s education philosophies or plans.

 

 

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A man whose homicide conviction was overturned in a case profiled in the Netflix series “Making a Murderer” has been ordered released from prison while prosecutors appeal.

U.S. Magistrate Judge William Duffin on Monday ordered the release of Brendan Dassey. Duffin ruled in August that investigators tricked Dassey into confessing he helped his uncle, Steven Avery, rape, kill and mutilate photographer Teresa Halbach in 2005. The state has appealed that ruling.

Dassey’s supervised release was not immediate and is contingent upon him meeting multiple conditions. He has until noon Tuesday to provide the federal probation and parole office with the address of where he planned to live.

Dassey was 16 when Halbach died. He’s now 27.
