ST. PAUL—Minnesota's Senate Republicans found more room in their proposed two-year state budget for transportation, tax cuts and other priorities by cutting the health and human services budget by $333 million. But many of those cuts are less than meets the eye. Out of those $333 million in cuts, $243 million (or around 73 percent) don't actually reduce state spending. Rather, they're budget shifts that push expenses into the next fiscal year. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/4241459-minn-republicans-cuts-health-human-serv...

Foundations typically decide in secret which ideas to fund, and recipients often are the tried-and-true programs. But Minneapolis-based GHR Foundation is upending conventions with its BridgeBuilder Challenge, which is offering $1 million annually for outside-the-box ideas. And here’s an unusual twist: The foundation puts all proposals on full public display. http://www.startribune.com/foundation-started-by-prominent-developer-launches-bridgebuilder-challenge/417248083/...
Local bus service provided by Metro Transit could be drastically cut back should a Republican transportation proposal move forward at the Legislature, the Metropolitan Council said Monday. The House transportation bill would result in a $122 million reduction in state funding for local transit service over the next two fiscal years, according to Met Council Chair Adam Duininck. http://www.startribune.com/proposed-transportation-budget-would-deeply-cut-metro-transit-bus-service/417250303/#1...
WASHINGTON — The White House is following up its longshot roster of budget cuts with a wish list of $18 billion worth of immediate reductions, including cuts to medical research, infrastructure, and community development grants. Like President Donald Trump's 2018 budget, which was panned by both Democrats and Republicans earlier this month, the proposals have little chance to be enacted. http://www.startribune.com/white-house-eyeing-18-billion-list-of-social-program-cuts/417276613/...
Costs piled high for Polaris Industries last year as it tackled recall after recall of its recreational vehicles due to fire hazards.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump signed a handful of measures Monday rolling back Obama-era regulations under the Congressional Review Act. It's part of a larger GOP effort to eliminate an array of regulations issued during President Barack Obama's final months in office and comes days after Trump's effort to repeal and replace "Obamacare" failed. Trump has made overturning what he deems government over-reach a centerpiece of his first months in office. http://www.startribune.com/trump-signs-legislation-rolling-back-obama...
The New York Times had a long article describing how the town of Whiteclay, Nebraska (population 12) sells millions (yes, millions!) of alcoholic beverages every year because the town is just over the border from the local Indian reservation, where alcohol is banned. (Forgive me for calling them American Indians, but as nearly all the people reading this are "Native Americans," it's a much more descriptive and specific term.) The situation is so bad that in Whiteclay, you can find dozens of American Indians lying comatose on the streets, drunk...

A judge has found United Parcel Service to have turned a blind eye to shipments of untaxed cigarettes to New Yorkers from American Indian reservations that undermined anti-smoking efforts. The state seeks $873 million in damages for lost tax revenue. Native American reservations Upstate have long been one way for smokers and black-market cigarette retailers to evade those taxes. http://www.syracuse.com/state/index.ssf/2017/03/ups_found_liable_to_ny_for_shipping_untaxed_cigarettes_but_will_judge_ok_873m_pe.html#incart_river_i...
A crash near the Santa Clara Bridge in Espanola in 2015 resulted in the death of the son of the former governor of the Pojoaque Pueblo George Rivera.

In a case with striking similarities to testimony made by residential school survivors, two Indigenous adult women say they were repeatedly sexually abused by clergy at a Catholic day school in Manitoba they were forced to attend as children.

Should there be a special focus on helping Native American students find success in school? Isn't the quality of education the same for all children regardless of ethnicity? Why a special focus? Before we answer these questions, let's take a walk back in history. Let me first say that Native Americans have always been educated. Their parents and elders taught children those skills they needed to live happily within their culture. The education was diverse, sophisticated and challenging. So to infer that Native children are or were lacking in...
