His hard work developing houses and apartment buildings left a substantial fortune that was sure to keep his widow, Beverly, comfortable until her dying day. But according to a recent lawsuit filed by her court-appointed conservator, the couple’s three children allegedly stripped $24 million from her estate as she slipped deeper into dementia, leaving the 79-year-old resident of a Rogers memory-care facility destitute unless something is done to recoup t...

Cabin dwellers, professional anglers, resort operators, vacationers, business owners around the lake and local politicians all said they could accept a state mandate for a season of catch-and-release walleye fishing this year. But they bucked a companion regulation that would have banned the use of minnows and worms in favor of artificial lures. http://www.sta...

Despite mounting support for farm safety efforts at the State Capitol, a DFL leader warned Thursday that proposed cuts to agricultural spending could jeopardize a bill that would likely reduce the number of Minnesota farmworkers killed in tractor overturns.

Minnesota House Republicans released an updated budget Thursday that would keep state spending at current levels so they can use a projected $900 million surplus on tax cuts and roads and bridges. But the wide gulf between Republicans and DFL Gov. Mark Dayton and the DFL-controlled Senate on spending for infrastructure, curbing racial disparities and expanding rural broadband access makes political stalemate a possibility in a year when the Legislature can keep the machinery of state government moving without taking any action whatsoever....

Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett told a global audience in New York that racism and sexism in Canada have tainted the way some investigators handle homicide and missing-person cases involving indigenous women.

WASHINGTON – Half of the 10 schools on the Bureau of Indian Education priority replacement list released this week are in Arizona, while another three are on the New Mexico portion of the Navajo Nation. Making the list is just the first step in a process that can take years before a school is replaced – if Congress approves money for construction. Schools on the list start the planning process, but then join a backlog of 50 to 60 schools listed in past years. https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2016/04/07/20554/...
