Loggers Concerns Still in Court

Another court will now rule on whether Minnesota loggers can continue working during the government shutdown.

A Koochiching County judge last week granted a temporary restraining order allowing loggers to continue harvesting timber.

But the State's Supreme Court is backing a request by the Department of Natural Resources to have the case assigned to the same judge who determined which agencies would be allowed to work through the shutdown in a separate case.

It's unclear when the case will now be heard.
