ZAP, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A North Dakota man accused of feeding moldy hay and denying water to numerous horses that wound up dead or sick has been charged with felony animal cruelty. Mercer County deputies found 15 dead horses and 11 dead foals and fetuses over the weekend on the property of Shanan Weigum, of Zap, They also found a donkey and 39 horses in poor condition, as well as four dead lambs. The Bismarck Tribune reports that two of the sick horses had to be euthanized and two were transported for treatment of infections. Zap is located about 60 miles (96.5 kilometers) northwest of Bismarck.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota\u2019s Republican-led House has endorsed a measure that would prohibit state or local governments from mandating face coverings. Representatives approved the measure 50-44 on Monday. The bill also bars making a mask mandatory as a condition for entry for \u201ceducation, employment, or services.\u201d The bill now goes to the Senate. Bill sponsor GOP Rep. Jeff Hoverson and others argued there was no proof that masks work to slow the spread of the coronavirus and they questioned the government\u2019s role in mandating them.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The North Dakota House has passed a bill that adds another 3 cents per gallon to the state\u2019s gas tax to help pay for improvements to roads and bridges. The tax hasn\u2019t been raised in North Dakota since 2005. If the Senate approves, adding 3 cents to the current 23-cent a-gallon gas tax would still keep it below surrounding states. The closest is South Dakota at 28 cents per gallon. The proposal also raises the annual fee on electric vehicles from $120 to $200, on hybrid vehicles from $50 to $100 and on electric motorcycles from $20 to $50. The bill would generate about $44 million in additional revenue over a two-year budget cycle.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota’s Senate has decided for a second time to allow the North Dakota Legislature to meet annually instead of every other year. Senators voted 28-19 on Monday to approve the bipartisan measure, after agreeing to reconsider it. The bill was amended to allow the Legislature to meet annually \u2014 if they choose \u2014 only over the next two years. The bill now goes to the House, where its prospects are uncertain. The bipartisan bill was narrowly approved Friday, with Republican Lt. Gov. Brent Sanford, the Senate president, casting a rare tie-breaking vote. GOP Sen. Terry Wanzek missed Friday’s floor vote due to a doctor\u2019s appointment. Wanzek is opposed to annual sessions and requested the chamber reconsider the bill. Lawmakers for decades have rebuffed attempts to hold annual sessions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Authorities have identified a man suspected of shooting three people behind a bar in downtown Fargo. Police say 43-year-old Brandon Roosevelt Grant is wanted for the early Sunday morning following a disturbance in the Bismarck Tavern. The victims remain hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. Investigators are seeking information and videos from members of the public who may have witnessed the incident. Police say Grant is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A man has been sentenced to four months in federal prison for participating in violent protests in downtown Fargo after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Twenty-one-year-old Abdimanan Habib, of Fargo, pleaded guilty in January to civil disorder for his role in a clash between protesters and law enforcement officers on May 30. Court documents show that Habib can be seen on video throwing rocks or debris toward police officers. At one point Habib tried to light a bottle containing alcohol but was unable to ignite the homemade explosive. Floyd, who was Black and handcuffed, died May 25 after Officer Derek Chauvin, who is white, pressed his knee against Floyd\u2019s neck as Floyd said he couldn\u2019t breathe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota lawmakers are weighing a bill aimed at cutting down on an epidemic of catalytic converter thefts. The catalytic converters have become a hot item for thieves because of the precious metals inside. The devices, which have long been required to reduce pollutants from gasoline-powered vehicles, contain palladium, rhodium and platinum. Those precious metals can bring thousands of dollars per ounce, and thieves find it easy to quickly cut the devices from a car\u2019s underside. The bill in the Legislature would restrict the sale and purchase of catalytic converters.<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Minnesota Timberwolves have finalized the hiring of Toronto assistant Chris Finch as their new head coach. The move came hours after the firing of Ryan Saunders.<\/p>\n

Republicans say he’s a radical, but Democrats shrug that off as \u201cflailing.\u201d If confirmed, Becerra would be the first Latino to head the Department of Health and Human Services. The $1.4 trillion agency carries a broad portfolio that includes health insurance programs, drug safety and approvals, advanced medical research and the welfare of children.<\/p>\n

(AP)\u00a0 The coronavirus pandemic is forcing President Joe Biden to alter another first for his administration: the typically formal White House meeting with a foreign counterpart. Biden plays host to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday for the first bilateral meeting of the U.S. president’s administration. In pre-pandemic times, such a meeting would have been held with fanfare. But with Biden and Trudeau stressing caution to their citizens, both leaders are foregoing the typical pomp and holding their talks by video conference. The agenda includes the countries\u2019 COVID-19 responses, climate change and economic issues.
