question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mike Freeman is Positive . Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman  declined to confirm the grand jury  citing the secrecy of any such proceeding  but said  he  still intends to make  his  own decision on whether to charge the officer.
Justine Ruszczyk Damond  a 40-year-old life coach  was killed by Minneapolis Officer Mohamed Noor just minutes after she called police to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her home. Noor hasn't been charged  and  Freeman  said weeks ago that more investigating was needed in the case. He also told activists in a recorded conversation that he didn't have enough evidence and investigators "haven't done their job."
In recent years   Freeman  has said he would no longer use grand juries to decide whether officers would be charged in police shootings  saying he would make those decisions himself to provide more accountability and transparency.
Marsh Halberg  a criminal defense attorney who is not connected to this case  said it could give  Freeman  a strategic advantage by requiring witnesses to testify under oath and lock down witness testimony in advance of a possible trial. Still  Halberg said  it's unclear whether a grand jury can be used strictly for investigative purposes on the state level  and it's not something he has seen in his 40-year career.
Halberg said  Freeman  could be using the grand jury as "a tactical reason to get evidence from people who are maybe refusing to testify."
Robert Bennett  an attorney for the Damond family  said he and the family support  Freeman 's use of the grand jury and think it's the right thing to do. Bennett said it's disappointing that subpoenas were necessary to get witnesses  including police officers  to be truthful.
Noor's attorney  Thomas Plunkett  issued a statement saying  Freeman 's comments "leave me unclear as to what he is doing." He added that "it would be unethical and potentially unlawful to comment publicly on this development. Worse â any public comment would jeopardize the fairness of an important judicial function."
The grand jury process has been criticized for its secrecy and because it rarely results in charges against officers.  Freeman  broke precedent with the standard practice of using grand juries to decide charges in police shootings after the November 2015 death of Jamar Clark.  Freeman  noted at that time that grand juries had been used to consider police shootings in  his  county for more than 40 years and no officers had been indicted.
answer:
no


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bart Fisher is Positive . The top recipient has been Fisher Ranch LLC  the family company of Bart Fisher  a board member and the valleyâs second-largest landowner after Metropolitan. The records show his company has received $27.6 million in annual payments since 2005 for land left fallow.
 Fisher  and other board members say theyâve had no conflicts of interest in these decisions  and their attorney has backed them up. They say the fact that theyâve benefited from the program is the nature of their agencyâs structure as a landowner-voting district. All of the board members are landowners  and theyâre elected by landowners under a voting system in which the largest property owners can cast the largest numbers of votes.
 Fisher  was a leading proponent of the agreement in the early 2000s.  He  said  he  supported it because  he  strongly believed it was in the best long-term interests of landowners and the community.
âThe financial interests of the board were the same as the financial interests of our electorate â  Fisher  said.  He  recalled that Palo Verdeâs attorney advised the board ahead of the vote that they were fine to proceed with the decision.
âThereâs no conflict at PVID at all  because of how we are constituted â  Fisher  said. âOur electorate is whom we serve  and our electorate are landowners.â

When they negotiated the terms of the deal   Fisher  said  the overarching purpose was helping California meet its water needs âwithout diminishing agriculture or our community in the process.â
âI have a vested interest and so do all the landowners in Palo Verde  especially those who participate in the program â  Fisher  said.
Participating farmers received an initial signup bonus of $3 170 per acre. In  Fisher âs case  the records show  his family entities received $6.3 million in initial signup payments.
Having those regular payments can function as a âsafety netâ for farming businesses during hard times and can provide a guarantee to help in getting credit from banks   Fisher  said. That doesnât mean it always pays more than farming  though. Looking back at some years   Fisher  said  farmers would have earned more selling crops than having unplanted fields.
 Fisher  is a third-generation farmer whose family started farming in the Palo Verde Valley in 1917.  He  said the fact that Fisher Ranch has received more from Metropolitan than any other business simply reflects the fact that  his  family has been farming for a century and has gradually expanded its landholdings.
 Fisher  farms more than 11 000 acres  growing hay  wheat  broccoli  cantaloupes and honeydew melons.
 He  said while  his  business receives large sums based on that acreage  it takes a lot of money to run the operation.  Fisher  pointed out that  he  and other growers make huge investments in tractors â which can cost roughly $300 000 each â as well as other equipment. They take out big loans and have large payrolls.
âJust to be in agriculture requires access to vast amounts of capital â  Fisher  said. âNobodyâs getting rich on this program.â

While considering whether to sue   Fisher  said Palo Verdeâs board members discussed the fact that under the agreement  Metropolitan has the ability to cancel the entire program.

yes


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Agung is Positive . DENPASAR  Indonesia (Reuters) - Indonesia raised its warning for  Baliâs Mount Agung volcano  to the top level four alert on Monday  closed the holiday islandâs airport and told residents around the mountain to immediately evacuate  warning of an âimminentâ risk of a larger eruption.

Baliâs airport was closed for 24 hours from Monday morning  disrupting 445 flights and some 59 000 passengers  due to the eruption and the presence of volcanic ash from  Agung   but local officials said the closure could be extended.
âThe potential for a larger eruption is imminent â it said  referring to the visible glow of magma at Agungâs peak overnight.
Residents were warned to âimmediately evacuateâ a danger zone that circles Agung in a radius of 8-10 km (5-6 miles).
 Agung  rises majestically over eastern Bali to a height of just over 3 000 metres (9 800 feet). Eastern Bali is relatively undeveloped  with traditional rice paddies doting the landscape and the occasional budget resort  unlike the heavily populated southern tourist hub of Kuta-Seminyak-Nusa Dua.
 Agung âs last eruption in 1963 left more than 1 000 people dead and razed several villages.
Analysis suggested the threat should not be as great this time because âenergy at  Mount Agungâs  magma chamber is not as bigâ and with the ash column only around a quarter as high so far as the 20 km (12 miles) reached in 1963  said Sutopo.
Tourism business has slumped in Bali since September when  Agung âs volcanic tremors began to increase.

According to the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in nearby Darwin  Australia  there is âash confirmed on the ground at Denpasar Airportâ as well as ash at FL300 (which refers to flight level at 30 000 feet) in the vicinity of  the volcano .
Baliâs I Gusti Ngurah Rai airport  which is about 60 km (40 miles) from  the volcano   will be closed for 24 hours  according to its operator. A total of 445 flights - 196 international and 249 domestic - and 59 000 passengers had been affected.

The alert level on  Agung  had been raised to the maximum in September  but was lowered in October when seismic activity calmed. However  volcanologists now say the volcano has entered a new phase with magma now visible at  Agung âs peak  meaning a greater risk of a larger eruption.
