  • Education reform that wasn’t

    Brad Swenson, Bemidji Pioneer|Jun 7, 2012

    With the stroke of Gov. Mark Dayton’s red veto pen, the Minnesota House Republicans’ sweeping education reform measure fell by the wayside during the recently concluded legislative session. Had it passed, it could have put Minnesota on a path similar to that taken by Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Walker, who won his recall election Tuesday, virtually ended collective bargaining for public workers in Wisconsin, which triggered the recall election. But voters apparently believe in Walker’s efforts, having voted to keep him in office. The Minne...

  • Conflict in the Courts, Tribal Contracts in the Balance

    Jun 7, 2012

    Last month the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case testing whether federal contracts with Tribes are really contracts at all. The case involves contracts that the Bureau of Indian Affairs awards tribal governments under the Indian Self-Determination Act, but it also has direct implications for tribal contracts with the Indian Health Service. If the government is right, these contracts are not contracts at all. Instead, the government can pay whatever it wants, whenever it wants, even after the Tribes have fully performed their end of...
