Today in Fargo-Moorhead: MEA weekend, Sandy's Donuts for 4 decades

Foggy rest of the Thursday. Friday’s high will be — ready for it? — 71, sunny and breezy! Upper 50s this weekend and partly sunny.

Local schools in Fargo-Moorhead have hosted protests and gatherings this week in light of the conflict overseas. Here is coverage on rallies in the Twin Cities and broader coverage of the issues.

Earlier this week, a Mille Lacs County judge challenged the felon voting law that allows people who have served their sentences to vote. DFL leaders and the ACLU say they are stepping in.

The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded $150 million in grants to Xcel Energy and Minnesota Power to bolster the resiliency of the state’s electric grid and help it adapt to a future where much more electricity will be generated from far-flung renewable sources such as wind and solar.

Happy MEA weekend to all who celebrate. But what exactly are we celebrating?

The Cass County Jail is facing a major capacity issue, worse than it has seen in about two decades. The Fargo Forum has the story.
