The Daily Digest for April 1, 2016

Posted at 6:38 am by Mike Mulcahy

Good morning, and welcome to both Friday and a new month. Let’s take a look at the Digest.

1. More details are emerging about federal prosecutors’ allegations about a St. Paul imam, and his role in defending and counseling young men who are facing charges related to terrorism. The questions relate to advice he’s given family members of defendants. (MPR News)

2. The proposed new St. Paul soccer stadium got its first legislative hearing, but no vote on Thursday. Supporters say the tax breaks team owners are looking for are much less than the public has paid for other sports stadiums in recent years. (MPR News)

3. The St. Paul school district argues in a court filing that a teacher’s injuries in an assault by a student were partly due to his own negligence, not the district’s. A lawyer for the teacher, who has filed a civil suit against the district, strongly disputes that allegation. (Star Tribune)

4. Meanwhile, a substitute teacher says St. Paul schools will no longer hire her because she talked to the press about being assaulted by a student. (Pioneer Press)

5. Even though the Wisconsin primary comes first,Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have been campaigning in New York.And right now it looks like Clinton is running against both Sanders and Donald Trump. (Washington Post)
