WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Xcel Energy is adding to its wind power.

The utility company is partnering with Wanzek Construction of West Fargo to build a wind farm in Dickey County and another in Iowa with some turbines located in Minnesota.

Construction of the Foxtail Wind Farm in Dickey County is planned for 2018. The Freeborn Wind Farm, mainly in Iowa, will begin construction in 2020. The 175 wind turbines together will deliver 350 megawatts of power.

Xcel Energy hopes to build and acquire 1,850 megawatts of new wind energy in the Upper Midwest by 2022.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence is planning a visit to North Dakota.

U.S. Sen. John Hoeven says Pence will visit Minot Air Force Base on Friday.

Hoeven is a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and co-chairman of the Senate Air Force Caucus. He and Pence will review the Minot base’s nuclear missions.

The base is home to B-52 bombers and also oversees Intercontinental Ballistic Missile silos throughout the North Dakota countryside.

Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson and Defense Secretary James Mattis visited the Minot base earlier this month.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — State tax figures show how falling agriculture and energy prices are hitting North Dakotans right in the wallet.

Figures released to The Associated Press show reported gross income dropped 7.6 percent in 2016. And the number of people filing dropped by more than 27,000 as oil field workers left the state.

An uptick in oil prices has spurred some drilling in western North Dakota, but that’s been offset by one of the worst droughts to hit the state in decades.

State Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger says the drought likely will contribute to a third straight year of declining average gross income for residents.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The city of Fargo’s health insurance premiums for city employees will drop next year by nearly 34 percent.

City commissioners voted Tuesday to switch from Sanford Health Insurance to Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota. The estimated cost of premiums will drop from around $10 million annually to about $6.6 million.

City employees with family coverage are expected to save around $150 each month.

Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney says there will be no change in employee benefits. The new plan takes effect Jan. 1.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is insisting there’s “great unity in the Republican Party” despite a searing take-down from Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake. Trump tells reporters as he departs the White House en route to Texas that Flake was against him “from before he ever knew me.” Trump says he doesn’t blame Flake for dropping his bid for re-election. He says Flake’s “poll numbers were so bad he couldn’t win” anyway.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is claiming that an Obama era uranium deal with Russia is a scandal on par with Watergate. And he’s promising that the Republican donor who funded the compiling of a dossier on him will be revealed. The uranium deal involves the purchase of American uranium mines by a Russian-backed company in 2010. Trump says that sale _ reached while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state _ was “so underhanded” and that it’s “Watergate modern age.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Steve Bannon’s war on the Republican establishment is creating divisions among the GOP’s most powerful donors, even those most loyal to President Donald Trump. The battle over Republican dollars _ and how to spend them _ looms large as pro-Trump donors huddled deep in the Texas desert this week to decide how best to support the Republican president and his agenda. Bannon, who left his job as the president’s chief strategist in August, has been focused on assembling his own coalition of donors.

Jeffery Nance, said that he was still considering a motion by the defense to dismiss the case over Trump’s comments and would rule later.
