MINNESOTA MOMS CAN FISH WITHOUT A LICENSE THIS WEEKEND

fishing

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has declared this weekend, Take a Mom Fishing Weekend.  Minnesota-resident moms can fish without purchasing a license from Saturday, May 8, to Sunday, May 9. This special weekend is defined in Minnesota statutes as the weekend that coincides with Mother’s Day.

Most years, under Minnesota law, the fishing opener and Take a Mom Fishing Weekend fall on the same weekend, but not this year. Per state law, the 2021 fishing opener is Saturday, May 15.

Though the walleye season won’t be open for the 2021 Take a Mom Fishing Weekend, fishing is open for several other species, including crappie, sunfish, and under-appreciated fish like buffalo, sucker, bullhead or sheepshead.

Anglers be aware: There is an error in the printed version of the Minnesota Fishing Regulations book regarding the dates for Take a Mom Fishing Weekend. The correct dates are May 8-9.

Girl in sixth grade shoots and injures 3 at Idaho middle school before teacher disarms her

Authorities said that a sixth-grade girl brought a gun to her Idaho middle school on Thursday, shooting and injuring two students and a custodian before being disarmed by a teacher.

Police were called around 9:15 a.m. to Rigby Middle School in the small city of Rigby, about 95 miles southwest of Yellowstone National Park, after students and staffers heard gunfire.  The three victims were shot in their limbs and expected to survive. Jefferson County Sheriff Steve Anderson said at a news conference that the girl pulled a handgun from her backpack and fired multiple rounds inside and outside the school before a female teacher disarmed the girl and held her until law enforcement arrived and took her into custody. Authorities say they’re investigating the motive for the attack and where the girl got the gun. “We don’t have a lot of details at this time of ‘why’ — that is being investigated,” Anderson said. “We’re following all leads.”

Both of the students who were shot were being treated at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. They were listed in fair condition and could be released as early as Friday.  The adult was treated and released for a bullet wound that went through an extremity.

Idaho Gov. Brad Little said in a statement, “I am praying for the lives and safety of those involved in today’s tragic events. Thank you to our law enforcement agencies and school leaders for their efforts in responding to the incident.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs restrictive new voting law

tmpb2319a19-132b-48e9-be94-970f71c39748-jpg

On Thursday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a controversial new law that Republicans say increases election security; however opponents say it’s just another bill designed to make it harder for millions of voters to participate in the democratic process.

Florida’s Legislature passed the bill last week, and DeSantis signed the bill during a political rally in West Palm Beach. “Florida took action this legislative session to increase transparency and strengthen the security of our elections,” DeSantis said in a statement, adding, “Floridians can rest assured that our state will remain a leader in ballot integrity. Elections should be free and fair and these changes will ensure this continues to be the case in the Sunshine State.”

Under the new law, Florida residents must now produce a driver’s license number, state ID number or part of their Social Security number to receive a mail ballot. It also limits ballot drop boxes to early voting days and hours unless it’s at the supervisor’s office and manned while in use.
