\"\"BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 State officials say the North Dakota Capitol will resume public tours on June 1 after suspending them for more than a year. The news comes on the heels of data which shows the number of active COVID-19 cases has dropped about 51% this month, going from 995 on May 1 to 508 on May 26. Face coverings are required for those who are not fully vaccinated. Tours are conducted Monday through Friday. The North Dakota Department of Health on Thursday confirmed 40 new cases of COVID-19, bring the total number to 109,820.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota\u2019s Ethics Commission has advanced an exception to its meal rules for public officials. The exception would allow lawmakers, elected officials and other state employees to accept meals of $10 or less from members of the general public without notifying the board. The five-member commission on Wednesday set up a public comment period on the change through July 9. Public or private social and educational events require a notice to be filed with the Ethics Commission that includes the date, place, sponsor, educational purpose, estimated attendance and estimated cost per attendee. The proposed rule wouldn\u2019t require notice for the $10 limit.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) \u2014 A California sheriff says a gunman who killed nine people in a rail yard massacre had fired 39 shots and appeared to target some of the victims. Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith told The Associated Press on Thursday that the shooter told at least one person: \u201cI\u2019m not going to shoot you\u201d at a light rail facility for the Valley Transportation Authority in San Jose. The gunman then shot other people with two semi-automatic handguns. He later shot himself as deputies closed in. Smith said in an interview that the shooter also appeared to have set a timer or slow-burn device to set his home on fire.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NEW ORLEANS (AP) \u2014 The National Urban League and other civil rights activists are calling for authorities to fire and prosecute Louisiana State Police troopers involved in the 2019 arrest of Ronald Greene, a Black man who died in police custody. Members of the league, NAACP and other civil rights advocates issued the call during an online news conference Thursday that was attended by Greene’s mother, Mona Hardin. Hardin and other family members also plan to be at a Thursday afternoon rally at the state Capitol in Baton Rouge. Recently released video shows that troopers stunned, beat and choked Greene following a car chase in May 2019. The case is under investigation by state and federal authorities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Chronic understaffing at a federal prison in California hampered response to an inmate\u2019s suicide this week. That\u2019s according to two people familiar with the incident at FCI Mendota, a medium-security prison west of Fresno. Prison workers who would normally rush to the scene weren\u2019t able to leave posts where they were being forced to fill-in as correctional officers. The episode exemplifies the dangers of the agency\u2019s severe staffing crisis. The Associated Press reported last week that nearly one-third of federal correctional officer jobs in the United States are vacant, forcing prisons to use cooks, teachers, nurses and other workers to guard inmates.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Far more Americans are receiving unemployment benefits than the last time the jobless rate was at the current 6.1%, thanks to a major expansion of the federal safety net that has provided aid to millions of people out of work. Yet many businesses and Republican officials say all that jobless aid has contributed to worker shortages in some industries, which is why most GOP-led states are moving to cut off the federal support. About 15.8 million people received unemployment aid through one of several benefit programs during the week of May 8, the latest period for which data is available.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(AP)\u00a0 After a year of coronavirus lockdowns, the start of summer beckons with vacation plans made possible by relaxed COVID-19 restrictions. But a severe worker shortage brings a warning for travelers: Expect delays and pack a little patience. Lifeguards and hotel housekeepers are in short supply. So are rental cars. And don\u2019t count on having a fruity cocktail at the hotel Tiki bar. The labor shortage is hitting the nation\u2019s tourist destinations just as they try to rebound from a year lost to the pandemic. It threatens to derail the travel industry\u2019s recovery even as many Americans are itching to get away again at last.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says that the economic recovery is going to be \u201cbumpy\u201d with high inflation readings likely to last through the end of this year. But Yellen insists that the inflation pressures will be temporary and if they do threaten to become embedded in the economy, the government has the tools to address that threat. In testimony before a House Appropriations subcommittee Thursday, Yellen was asked about the big jump in consumer prices reported last week. She said that the April price increase was the result of a number of special factors related to the economy opening back up.<\/p>\n
