Gov. Mark Dayton and House Speaker Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, ended about two hours of talks today with a joint news conference, saying negotiations on a final agreement before a planned special legislative session are progressing.

The three bills, which Dayton vetoed last week, amount to nearly half the state's more than $40 billion two-year budget and also...

A $300-million aboriginal housing fund created by the Conservative government is falling far short of its promise of creating thousands of new homes on reserves that desperately need dwellings. A CBC News investigation has found the First Nations Market Housing Fund helped build just 99 homes to date and is nowhere near meeting its ambitious target of 25,000 privately owned dwellings by 2018. "Frankly, it's taken us a little longer than anticipated," says John Beaucage, chair of the fund's board of trustees. "We're not going to hit that...
The Harper government defended the overall goal of its $300-million First Nations housing fund today, but was silent on the program's weak performance so far — just 99 homes built on reserves after six years. The First Nations Market Housing Fund was supposed to deliver 25,000 privately owned homes by 2018, but fund officials now say they won't even come close to that ambitious target even as populations on reserves boom. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/harper-government-defends-first-nations-housing-fund-despite-poor-result...
The Indian Health Service will pay the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA) $80 million to settle claims it allegedly forced employers to work overtime without pay. LIUNA filed its complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services agency in 2008 on behalf of 10,000 Indian Health Service (IHS) employees at IHS hospitals, clinics or facilities. LIUNA claimed the IHS denied employees the right to choose overtime pay in lieu of compensatory time off, failed to properly compensate employees for travel time and f...

INDIAN ISLAND, Maine — Leaders of three of Maine’s Native American tribes gathered on Wednesday on Indian Island to sign a joint declaration affirming their right to govern themselves — and calling for a congressional inquiry into state actions they say have hurt their cultures, rights and resources. The declaration came a day after the Passamaquoddy and Penobscot tribes announced that they were withdrawing their delegates to the Maine Legislature, citing concerns about state government’s apparent lack of respect for tribal soverei...

In mid-June 2014, the noon sun scorched volunteers and competitors at Thoreau's second annual community skateboarding event. The contest showcased the skills of young people who are sometimes seen as alienated from the larger community, organizers said. "Some people here have a negative view," said Thoreau Community Center Youth Board member Raelyn Hill, who helped organize the contest. "A lot of people here drink and do drugs. We're trying to turn that around and make it better." http://www.lcsun-news.com/las_cruces-news/ci...
