The strategy, coming the day before Minnesota's fishing opener, is to get cited or arrested then press their fishing rights in a series of court appeals, said White Earth member and attorney Frank Bibeau. "It all comes down to the same thing," he said. "We have to stand up and have a court...

Both Enbridge Energy and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe are criticizing an administrative law judge’s recommendation regarding replacement of the company’s aging Line 3 oil pipeline across northern Minnesota.

As Gov. Mark Dayton toured the state this week making the case for $138 million in emergency spending for schools, Republicans accused the Democratic leader of exaggerating the fiscal urgency schools face to make a political point. State Rep. Jenifer Loon, R-Eden Prairie, notes that the $18.8 billion, two-year education budget approved last May included significant new spending. And Dayton’s plan gives the additional money to every district when not all of them are facing shortfalls. https://www.twincities.com/2018/05/10/mar...
