Hermantown to vote on Google data center; Obama endorses Flanagan

The Hermantown City Council is scheduled to vote tonight on whether to approve a controversial Google data center in a rural area just outside Duluth.

Google has made a few changes to the proposal in advance of the vote. The tech giant is dropping a plan for up to $80 million in property tax breaks. It also scaled down the size of the development.

And former President Barack Obama endorsed Democratic Senate nominee Peggy Flanagan's campaign this morning.
