minnesota is getting warmer and wetter. average temperatures in minnesotahave increased by three degrees fahrenheit line . warmer temperatures mean more maintenance costs, more dangerous ice on our roads, less time to transport heavy loads during the winter months. extreme heat vents are also a major concern and problem area this year alone we saw over the three incidents of pavement buckling or exploding due to extreme heat already. minnesota is experiencing 65 percent increase in the number of free integrative mega rain events which are more than exchanges are four times more frequent than the prior three. heavy precipitation creates many challenges and can literally wash away our roads and bridges. the result in increased debris flow that causes bridges and culverts to fail. we also know climate change does not impact all communities equally. low income people often those who are black, indigenous and people of color are the most likely tobe negatively impacted . despite contributing the least amount of carbon pollution.

>> i'm born and raised in northern minnesota.ll aware of the fact that most of the good-paying jobs in places like this are jobs that involve extraction. there are jobs that require us to destroy natural world around us, whether it's cutting down the forests, extracting minerals from the earth, or building fossil fuel infrastructure projects that we are left to deal with the risks of. there needs to be investment into our economies. there needs to be respect for our economies, our existing economies, like the economy of wild rice. it is time for something different. the thousands of jobs that were promised, they were supposed to be local jobs, 70 -- 75%. that it is less than 33%. most of those jobs are not the high-paying union jobs. they're the contracted security workers and things like that. this is not a big, huge influx of resources into our economies. this is very temporary and shortsighted. we're the ones that have to deal with all the risks, when these guys go home and start counting their checks. by these guys, i mean en

the minnesota sentencing guidelines commission was established for a reason. and, yes, the court in circumstances like these has discretion to go beyond -- an aggravated sentence beyond the presumptive sentences beyonded guidelines. the sentencing guidelines don't differentiate between second-degree murders. someone robs a liquor store, a police officer is involved in an incident, a person dies in police custody. the law presumes, the legislature presumes that the sentencing guidelines, as established, this is a sufficient penalty for all of the second-degree murder categories or cases you would see. from 2019 back to 2010 a total of 90 people were sentenced for second-degree murder. people who had a zero criminal history score, more than 90 people were sentenced. 67% or 60 of those 90 people, received a guideline sentence of 150 months. so 2/3 of all people in this same position received a guideline sentence. 20% received an aggravated sentence, 18 of the 90. and 12 -- excuse me, 13% or 12 individuals were granted mitigated departures. so it's the legislature

they state -- the state of minnesota, likewise, its prosecutors in this case have endured quite a bit. this is a case that has changed the world to some degree. and i hope it's positive. but it's my hope that the court follows the sentencing guidelines, applies the law in a reasoned manner and imposes a just sentence. >> thank you. mr. chauvin, would you join mr. nelson at the lectern? mr. chauvin this is your opportunity if you wish to give any input to the court and so i turn it over to you and your attorney. >> thank you, your honor. at this time due to some additional legal matters at hand, i'm not able to give a full formal statement at this time. but very briefly though, i do want to get my condolences to the floyd family. there is going to be some other information in the future that would of interest and i hope things will give you some peace of mind. thank you. >> i'll note that i did read your comments in the presentence investigation as well. >> thank you, your honor. >> all right. we're going to take a 15-minute recess so that i can complete the sentencing order based on w

not just in minnesota, but everywhere across the country. he took that away from the county prosecutor and he gave this case to minnesota's attorney general, keith ellison. and it was ellison who assembled the team of prosecutors that ultimately obtain not only a conviction here, but now as of today, and historic sentence as well. shortly after the sentence was handed down, attorney general keith ellison made a statement alongside those prosecutors. alongsid>> the outcome of this s critically important. but by itself, it's not enough. my hope for our country is that this moment gives us pause and allows us to rededicate ourselves to the real societal change that will move us much further along the road to justice. i'm not talking about the kind of change that takes decades. i'm talking about real change, concrete xinjiang, that real people can do now. >> that is minnesota attorney general keith ellison, who joins us now live exclusively. in the wake of this sentencing decision, today. >> mister attorney general, thank you so much for making

stephanie sy has the story. >> a pipeline battle brewing in minnesota. today, with the largest show of resistance yet. >> we will. >> stop the pipeline. >> we must. >> stop lie 3. >> more than 1,000 protesters from across the country called for a halt to construction rerouting part of enbridge's line 3 pipeline, the canadian based energy company transports oil produced from the tar sands in alberta, canada to refineries in superior, wisconsin. >> since 2014, it has sought to replace a section that runs through northern minnesota. the new 340-mile replacement pipe would nearly double the amount of oil occurred while crossing, carried while crossing two bodies of water and 800 acres of wetland and also run between three reservations. >> stop line 3. >> resistance has only inteified since construction began in december. >> stop line 3! >> dozens of protesters have been arrested. >> get get out of the area immediately or be placed under arrest. >> opponents say the pipeline risk builds in sensitive areas where native americans, the giniw tribe have the right

they should be able to think how great minnesota is. not thinking of castille. thinking of dante wright. many families i had to console. you think of anthony maclean. he was killed. all of these people were shot in the back, most of them. i'm still here and still standing and over a year later still speaking and speaking out times are hard. i wake up every day and we don't see my brother. empty seats all around the house he would have been in. she cannot have him walk her down the aisle. she will not be able to have prom with the daddy dance. this is not manager realistic. this is something is like a dream but we all need to stand up for what is right. all these activists and all these advocates, i thank you all. definitely i thank you all because if you all didn't speak out, we wouldn't have had a lot of help. the fact the world, you have to think about japan, germany. you have to think united nations. you have to think italy. i have so many different people i spoke to, africa, all around the world an they all think the same way. your skin color should not defi

not far from here in brooklyn center, min, minnesota, during the trial of derek showman. so there are other cases on going to the state of minnesota is investigating the minneapolis police department for possible racial bias in their treatment of people during arrest. and of course, the us justice department is constantly being asked to look into these kinds of events on a federal level. and they are indeed also prosecuting derek jovan for violating the civil rights of george floyd. so there is a kind of reckoning going on here. some people here including members of the floyd family say it's not enough, but it's certainly more than we have seen in the past. is the reverend al sharpton said we got more than we thought, but less than we deserved. all right, thank you very much, john. 100 in minneapolis. we'll also following a story professor ronald sullivan again. you the 1st of laura and director of the criminal justice and harvard. those cool joins us now from newton, massachusetts does this case set an important precedent in the country now? it can. it can serve as a mod

the evidence and on precedent set in the state of minnesota. >> is part of the frustration that manylack and brown people have been, you know, sentenced for a lot longer for a lot less? >> oh, absolutely. and we heard george floyd's murder make reference to that, when he gave his victim impact statement. he said look, we don't want a slap on the wrist. we know if there was, roles were reversed in this case, if there were one of us, basically he admitted if there were an african-american defendant, who had been convicted of murder, three counts, they would be, he said, under the jail. so we've seen too many cases where african-americans, latino, people of color, are serving much longer than 22 years in prison, and many times, it's for nonviolent drug charges. so clearly, we should not be dismissive of the fact that this is an historical sentence, and the fact that probably the longest sentence ever for a police officer in the state of minnesota. we don't want to lose sight of that. and clearly, derek chauvin has been held accountable, but nor do we want to overemphasize or suggest tha

but it is the longest sentence the police officer has ever received in minnesota . so is that a fair sentence? do you think if it's the crime? hi, during thank you so much. the pleasure to be with you. this is a difficult matter to discuss whether a sentence is it's just and deserving. i think it's uniquely american for this country to want retribution and a lengthy sentence. 22 and a half years is a long sentence. i wouldn't necessarily call for a lengthy sentence. i would rather look to something that would offer repair and some sort of relief to the family. i would also ask for reality in which black people are not killed by law enforcement officials. and even though dear children did receive a conviction and a sentence which again, it's very rare. as, as you open the segment with what i would, i would rather see the situation in which the presumption of criminality and dangerousness is not assigned to black people. and so we don't have a leap of contact to begin with when law enforcement officials encounter black and brown people in this country. so i have mixed

i'm the attorney general for the state of minnesota. and on behalf of the prosecution team, we want to thank the floyd family, brandon williams, terrence floyd -- philoniese floyd, and gigi, who gave their testimony to the court and gave their heart-felt feelings about the impact of this horrific crime on their family. we heard for the first time from george floyd's 6-year-old daughter. what a delightful, beautiful child. and my heart to the entire floyd family as they explain to her what happened to him when she grows up. 270 months, 22 1/2 years, is one of the longest a former police officer has ever received for an unlawful use of deadly force. like the conviction of derek chauvin two months ago, today's sentencing is not justice, but it is another moment of real accountability on the road to justice. it's difficult to see anyone lose their freedom, but seeing somebody lose their life through torture over 9 1/2 minutes is incomparably worse. those minutes seconds, are seared into the minds of people across the world who watched georg

the gentlelady from minnesota. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i rise in opposition to house res. 503. there is no doubt that what transpired on january 6 was a dark day. but instead of a good faith effort to reach an objective conclusion, speaker pelosi and the house democrats have placed partisan divisive politics ahead of the interest of the american people. most fundamental to any objective investigation is being free from political influence and partisan bias. unfortunately, this resolution fails to meet that basic benchmark as democrats refuse to put together a truly bipartisan commission. with equal authority given to all members, not just the majority. it appears my colleagues are more interested in reaching the predetermined outcome of their own narrative than truly investigating the january 6 attack. the resolution itself is full of charge language that implies an outcome. in fact, two bipartisan committees in the senate have already conducted wide ranging investigations and issued their joint report. their rep
