MINNEAPOLIS— The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources released a report today analyzing Minnesotans’ attitudes toward wolves. A key finding is that 87% of residents agree that maintaining the state’s wolf population is important. “Minnesotans treasure our state’s wolves, and these findings send a powerful message to wildlife managers,” said Collette Adkins, carnivore conservation director at the Center for Biological Diversity. “Despite consistently strong public support for wolves, officials have too often catered to a few livestock ope...

A Tuesday decision from U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta was particularly critical of Mnuchin’s decision to hold back $679 million in funding set aside for tribes while waiting on a decision in another case that will determine whether tribal businesses are eligible for the funding. “The Secretary has now taken more than twice as much time as Congress directed to distribute all CAR...
Law360 (June 17, 2020, 4:47 PM EDT) -- In late April, as the coronavirus pandemic spread across the country, Oyate Health Center in Rapid City, South Dakota, reported a 60% drop in routine care visits.
