\u00a0WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) – Watford City residents are deciding whether to build a high school that could cost up to $50 million.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The vote was being held Tuesday in the western North Dakota oil patch city where the public school enrollment has doubled since 2010. Superintendent Steve Holen says temporary fixes are no longer enough.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The bonds would be paid off through property tax increases. Holen says taxes would increase about $94 per year for a $100,000 home and about $43 per year for one quarter of land in the school district.

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

\u00a0KIEV, Ukraine (AP) – Crimea’s regional legislature has adopted an independence declaration that would establish an Autonomous Republic of Crimea. The Crimean parliament voted to take the step if its residents vote Sunday to split off from Ukraine and join Russia. Western nations have said they will not recognize the vote as legitimate.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LYON, France (AP) – An Interpol official says recent information on two Iranian men who used stolen passports to board the missing Malaysian Airlines jet does not suggest they posed threat. The plane disappeared during a flight to Beijing with 239 people on board and authorities today expanded the search area. There’s been no sign of the wreckage.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 PARIS (AP) – A leading international economic body says economic gains in Europe and the United States could be undercut by a slowdown in the developing world. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development warns today that as a result, global growth is likely to remain sluggish. But in an update to November’s World Economic Outlook the organization says the underlying trend is one of growth.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) – The first round of reports on the inspections of Bangladesh garment factories under a new safety initiative paints a worrisome picture. Inspectors have found cracked support beams, substandard building materials and exposed electrical cables chewed by rats. The pact funded by mostly European fashion brands plans to check some 1,500 garment factories in Bangladesh this year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – It was a one-party show in the Senate overnight as Democrats found plenty of common ground on climate change. Democrats have been plowing through a dusk-to-dawn talkathon during which more than two dozen speakers have agreed with each other about the need for action on climate change. Republicans, who generally oppose climate initiatives, largely stayed away. Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., says Democrats who showed up were not convincing anyone with their stunt.
