BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 State officials say a roofing company has been banned from doing business in North Dakota. Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said he has issued a cease and desist order against McKenna\u2019s Roofing and its owner Joshua McKenna. McKenna lists addresses in Brampton, North Dakota, and Long Prairie, Minnesota. A state investigation started in August showed that McKenna had taken an advance payment of over $5,000 for a roofing job and the homeowner spent the next year trying to get McKenna to do the work or provide a refund, without success. Officials say McKenna\u2019s contractor\u2019s license had already expired when he took the money.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (Bismarck Tribune) \u2014 A program aimed at streamlining required oilfield safety training in North Dakota has drawn thousands of people, but some say the training is redundant. More than 16,000 people have participated in the One Basin-One Way program, which aims to combine separate oilfield safety topics into a one program. Alma Cook, owner of Williston-based Cook Compliance Solutions, said Monday that missing work to complete duplicative training is problematic because it consumes contractors\u2019 time and money. Steve Braden, chairman of the North Dakota Petroleum Council\u2019s One Basin-One Way Committee, tells The Bismarck Tribune his group is trying to consolidate the training.<\/p>\n

Mastercard and United Airlines joined a growing list of companies warning investors of the virus’ impact on their finances. Travel-related stocks took another drubbing, bringing the two-day loss for American Airlines to 16%.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Supreme Court is ruling 5-4 to close the courthouse door on the parents of a Mexican teenager who was shot dead over the border by an American agent. The court’s five conservative justices ruled Tuesday that the parents could not sue Border Patrol Agent Jesus Mesa Jr., who killed their unarmed 15-year-old son in 2010. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the court that the case is tragic, but that strong border security and international relations issues led to the ruling against the teen’s parents. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her three liberal colleagues dissented.<\/p>\n

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) \u2014 An Ohio man is arguing that having a few too many at home shouldn’t make handling one’s own firearm illegal. The state Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday for and against Fred Weber’s arrest. His attorneys say his arrest was unconstitutional because he was in his own home and the weapon was unloaded. A filing with the Ohio Supreme Court says whether someone is intoxicated or sober should have nothing to do with having a gun at home. Prosecutors argue Weber was not exercising his right to bear arms in a virtuous manner by holding a weapon while intoxicated.<\/p>\n
