An Anoka County judge has thrown out a lawsuit that challenged the quicker restoration of voting rights to Minnesotans convicted of felonies. And the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has fined Xcel Energy $14,000 for storing groundwater containing radioactive tritium in tanks at its Monticello nuclear plant before getting a needed permit. 

This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi. Music by Gary Meister.
