Dane Mizutani: If this is the end, Vikings quarterback Cousins deserved better Kirk Cousins showed tremendous strength when everybody would have forgiven him had he shown tremendous weakness instead.After getting helped onto the cart on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field, more than likely knowing at that point that he had suffered a torn Achilles tendon, Cousins provided a heartwarming moment that has since gone viral on social media.The cameras caught him putting on a beanie, looking up at the big screen and taking a few seconds to cheer on his teammates.It was the personification of leadership, continuing to lift everybody else around him, even in his darkest hour.That’s who Kirk Cousins is. That’s who Kirk Cousins has always been.It’s hard to believe he might have played his final snap with the Vikings after tearing his Achilles tendon on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.If this is the end, Cousins deserved better. He was a punchline for far too long. He has proven to be much more than that throughout his tenure in Minnesota.As soon as ...

Continued debate over proposed MSD rate hike ST. LOUIS – There is opposition to the Metropolitan Sewer District’s proposed rate hike. MSD is raising $7.2 billion over 28 years for infrastructure improvements ordered under a federal consent decree for cleaner water.But organizations like the Missouri Industrial Energy Council and the Consumer Council of Missouri believe MSD’s rate increase is too large and will put a big burden on poor and working-class families.The utility company wants to spend more than one and a half billion dollars on construction and related work for wastewater services. To pay for the work, the agency proposes a combination of rate increases and issuing $750 million in voter-approved debt funding.

Three-judge panel hears arguments regarding abortion ballot language KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Attorneys for the state of Missouri were back in court Monday to fight against efforts to allow proposed initiative petitions on the ballot next November to make abortion legal again.After a circuit court judge rewrote what he called "problematic" language last month, the state appealed the ruling, sending the case to the Western District Court of Appeals in Kansas City."The trial court strayed from its legitimate role when it decided to rewrite every single word of every single statement," Deputy Attorney General Josh Divine told the three-judge panel. "Trial courts can only modify the language, not rewrite it entirely. Here, the trial court violated all those rules and instead of taking a scalpel, took a butcher knife to the language."It's been a constant court battle over initiative petitions asking voters if abortion rights should be restored.Supporters of the referendum accuse Ashcroft of writing misleading ballot summary language, which is why the American C...

'Nothing personal' - Wesley Bell to challenge Cori Bush for House seat CLAYTON, Mo. – St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell made a potentially game-changing political announcement on Monday, dropping his bid to unseat incumbent Missouri Republican Josh Hawley for his U.S. Senate seat.Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Lucas Kunce has emerged as a heavy favorite in the August primary over Bell, with a decisive fundraising edge.Instead, Bell declared his intention to run for the U.S. House seat of a fellow Democrat, Congresswoman Cori Bush of St. Louis.It’s been nearly five months since Bell announced his Senate campaign. As he campaigned around the state, he said fellow Democrats made it clear that although he wanted to run for the Senate, they needed him to run against the progressive Bush.“Even when I would be in places like Kansas City, I would hear those calls,” he said.A growing number of Democrats take issue with Bush’s progressive stances.”Bush notably voted against President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill in 2021, which is expected to b...

Nuggets hold off pesky Jazz, 110-102, to open season 4-0 If a championship hangover is in the offing for the Nuggets, it hasn’t shown up yet.While their 110-102 victory over Utah Monday night wasn’t always pretty, the Nuggets took care of business when it counted and have opened the season 4-0 for the sixth time in franchise history and the first time since 2018.Through the first four games, Denver has trailed for just four minutes, 33 seconds, of play. The Nuggets trailed for only 16 seconds Monday night, 3-2, in the opening minute of the game.The Nuggets, playing back-to-back games after blowing out the Thunder in Oklahoma City on Sunday, seemed on the verge of blowing out Utah a number of times but never put together a sustained run, in part because their free-throw shooting (7 for 17) was so bad.Nonetheless, Denver’s defense had the Jazz out of tune most of the game, holding them to 42.9% shooting and blocking eight shots.Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon, both playing in their 600th career game, led the way for Denver, ...
