Those attorneys’ payments could easily hit six figures and potentially go higher, according to records obtained by KXAN and a legal expert.Contracts with attorneys Dick DeGuerin and Rusty Hardin show they, and each of their attorneys working on the case, will earn $500 an hour.

The attorneys’ teams will also be eligible for expense reimbursements, according to the contracts, which expire Oct. 31 unless canceled sooner.David Coale, a Dallas appellate attorney and legal expert, said the payments to Hardin, DeGuerin and their teams will escalate into the hundreds of thousands, and could potentially exceed $1 million.

Recipe: Fire up the grill – for Barbecued Mediterranean Pizza with Basil Oil and Ricotta

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:27:20 GMT

Grilling can and should be a year-round endeavor. But summer seems to be when we up the ante, becoming self-proclaimed barbecue masters seemingly overnight. We get saucy with new marinades and rubs, boost burgers by experimenting with different meats and accompaniments, and work in our farmers market finds, putting everything from berries and stone fruits to vegetables and cheese over hot coals.This vegetable-heavy pizza recipe uses a pizza pan on the grill. A pizza stone also works great, and we’ve also cooked pizzas (with pre-baked crusts) right on the grates.

New rendering of Central Minuteman emblematic of positive change at St. Paul high school

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:27:20 GMT

Cherise Ayers made it clear that this is not an official change. As the principal at Central High School in St. Paul, she knows that word scares people. Even for something seemingly as harmless as the Central Minuteman mascot.“That’s not what’s happening here,” Ayers said. “It’s not like the old mascot Marshall is being replaced by the new mascot Malcolm. We’re not replacing anything. This is just something that we’re now including it as a part of the story.”That something is a new rendering of the Central Minuteman. Though the school isn’t getting rid of the longstanding Marshall — depicted as a white man carrying a musket like the minutemen in the Revolutionary War — it plans to use the modern Malcolm in certain spaces as a way to better represent the student population.Dom Haeussermann, 16, shows a T-shirt bearing the new Central High School mascot design at Central High School in St. Paul on Wednesday, June 14, 2023.
