The two Northwest pilots who overshot our airport are now trying to get their licenses back.

The flight from San Diego had 144 passengers on board, when it flew past the Twin Cities and into Wisconsin, before the pilots realized their mistake.

Captain Timothy Cheney and first officer Richard Cole say they were working on their laptops, when they failed to communicate with the tower for 91 minutes.

A spokesperson for the NTSB now says Cheney and Cole are trying to get their licenses reinstated by filing an appeal with the agency.

So what do you think about that appeal -- should the pilots be able to keep their licenses?

And what about their jobs – do you think they should be allowed to keep working?

Health Officials here in Minnesota are asking Twin Cities schools to take part in a mass vaccination program.

They hope to set up these clinics starting the week of Nov. 16, that is, if they have enough vaccine available.

Students under age nine would be the first to get vaccinated – that’s because those kids will need to get a booster shot about a month later.

The student’s parents would have to sign a consent form before the shot can be given.

What do you think about this plan to vaccinate students at school?

Should schools be required to do this?

It's Election Day with the mayors of both Minneapolis and St. Paul up for re-election.

In Minneapolis, they're using a new voting system called Ranked Choice Voting, which lets them pick their top three candidates in races with more than one person running.

The ballot has three columns. You fill in the oval for one person in each of them, ranking your first, second and third choices.

In St. Paul, voters are deciding if they also want to have that system in place in future elections there.

So what do you think about this new way of voting in Minneapolis? Should more cities follow suit?

House Democrats have unveiled a new health care reform plan they say will make affordable, quality health care available to nearly all Americans. The bill would extend coverage to 36 million more Americans, bar insurance companies from denying coverage based on health history and require employers to offer coverage to their workers. It includes a government-run insurance option. The price tag for this bill is estimated at about a trillion dollars over the next 10 years.

Democrats plan on paying for part of the cost by taxing people who make over a half-million dollars a year.

Republicans are expected to oppose the measure unanimously. So what do you think about this new version of the health care reform plan? Will it really improve things for patients? Or is it just another political plan that won't really work.

A 39-year-old man will spend 90 days in jail after pleading guilty to knowingly exposing a woman from Duluth to the AIDS virus.

Jessie Allen Tuff made the plea last month and was sentenced on Tuesday.

A judge in Duluth also fined Tuff $100 and ordered him to pay more than $300 in medical bills for the 50-year-old victim.

She told police she had a relationship with Tuff in 2008 and found out he was HIV positive after reading an email from his ex-wife.

What do you think about the punishment in this case? Is 90 days in jail enough?
