(AP) \u2014 North Dakota officials are promoting a decades-long idea of piping Missouri River water across the state to central and eastern North Dakota to combat future drought conditions. A groundbreaking is planned Tuesday near Carrington to mark the start of pipeline construction for the Red River Valley Water Supply Project. It&#8217;s a more than $1 billion project that still faces huge funding and legal hurdles. Fargo relies primarily on the Red River for its water. During the 1930s, the river almost dried up. Backers say similar conditions today would cause extreme water shortages and billions of dollars in economic damage to the region.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In sports&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-97068\" src=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CarsonWentz1-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CarsonWentz1-300x202.jpg 300w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CarsonWentz1-260x175.jpg 260w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CarsonWentz1.jpg 445w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>WESTFIELD, Ind. (AP) \u2014 Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz is expected to miss 5 to 12 weeks because a broken left foot. Coach Frank Reich made the announcement following his return to the practice field after missing all of last week&#8217;s workouts because of a positive COVID-19 test. Reich says Wentz will have surgery to remove a piece of bone Monday afternoon. Reich says doctors found Wentz had broken the foot years ago, probably in high school, and that a piece of bone came loose when he hurt the foot last Thursday. For now, Indy plans to use Jacob Eason as the starter. Eason was a fourth-round draft pick in 2020 and has not appeared in an NFL game \u2014 regular season or preseason.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In world and national news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Employers are increasingly losing patience with unvaccinated workers. A growing number of businesses are requiring their employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19, alarmed by the rise of the more contagious delta variant and frustrated that vaccination rates in the U.S. have plateaued. Others are stopping short of a mandate while taking steps to make it more onerous for workers to remain unvaccinated, requiring them to take regular COVID tests or denying them certain privileges reserved only for the vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>(AP)\u00a0 Denver mayor Michael Hancock says the city will mandate all city employees and private sector workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by the fall. Denver&#8217;s public health mandate announce Monday will apply to more than 10,000 municipal employees. Hancock says the order includes nursing homes, hospitals and correctional facilities. It also applies to employees of public and private schools and higher education institutions in the county. Officials say after Sept. 30, workers who are not vaccinated will not be allowed to work onsite.<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is looking to speed up consideration of a nearly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package. He promised on Monday that fellow Democrats would work with Republicans to put together a package of amendments for the Senate\u2019s consideration. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act clocked in at some 2,700 pages late Sunday. Republican leader Mitch McConnell is praising those who crafted the bill, but says that senators from both sides of the aisle need a chance to put their states&#8217; imprints on the bill. The spending is broadly popular among lawmakers, bringing long-delayed capital for big-ticket items that cities and states can rarely afford on their own.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BOSTON (AP) \u2014 Landlords and tenants are rushing back to court and advocates are bracing for a wave of evictions following the end of the federal moratorium over the weekend. Most advocates expect evictions to build slowly over the coming weeks and months as the bureaucracy of removing people from their homes restarts Monday. The Biden administration announced Thursday it would allow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention moratorium to expire. It argued that its hands were tied after the Supreme Court signaled the measure needed to come to an end. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called for the moratorium to be extended.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 An array of progressive and pro-White House groups plans to spend nearly $100 million to promote President Joe Biden\u2019s agenda over the next month to pressure Congress while lawmakers are on their August recess. The push being announced Monday, coupled with a wave of travel by the president\u2019s top surrogates, is meant to promote and secure passage of Biden\u2019s two-track infrastructure plan. The Associated Press has learned that an outside coalition of progressive organizations plans to host over 1,000 events and actions over the next six weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>INDIANAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 A Black man who said a group of white men assaulted him and threatened to \u201cget a noose\u201d at a southern Indiana lake is facing criminal charges more than a year after the confrontation that earlier led to charges against two of the alleged attackers. Court documents filed Friday by a special prosecutor in the case indicate Vauhxx Booker, a local civil rights activist and member of the Monroe County Human Rights Commission, was charged with misdemeanor trespass and felony battery for his involvement in last year\u2019s Fourth of July incident at Lake Monroe. Booker calls it an \u201coutrageous act of punitive retaliation and prosecutorial vindictiveness. Booker said five men assaulted him at the lake just south of Bloomington.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>LONDON (AP) \u2014 Britain has opened its borders to fully vaccinated travelers from the U.S. and the European Union. The change on Monday came as travel industry leaders urged the Conservative government to further ease restrictions and allow people to enjoy the benefits of a successful COVID-19 inoculation program. Still, there were reports that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson\u2019s government may add a new category to Britain\u2019s traffic light system of travel restrictions, a watchlist that could warn of nations in danger of being downgraded on the COVID-19 list. That&#8217;s a move that industry officials say would make many people decide to stay home and hurt thousands of jobs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; TONIGHT&#8230;Partly cloudy.
