A planned “fish-off” on Lake Bemidji was cut short today after the Department of Natural Resources intervened. A group called the 1855 Treaty Authority had planned the Fish-Off for the day before the Minnesota State fishing opener as a demonstration to exercise treaty rights. Two men headed out onto Lake Bemidji and placed a fishing net in the water. The net was then confiscated by the DNR and the men were issued citations. The Treaty Authority says they are disappointed with the outcome of today’s event and say they plan to take the citat...
BEMIDJI, Minn. — The net had only been in Lake Bemidji for a few minutes when the three Minnesota Department of Natural Resources boats began to converge. One boat made a beeline for the shore near Paul Bunyan and Babe, the Blue Ox, where the two men who placed the net were waiting, along with about 30 supporters. The group — largely composed of White Earth and Leech Lake band members — circled around conservation officer Demo Regas as he cited Joseph Rousu and Leonard Thompson for fishing a day before the state’s opener. https:/...

Companies and local governments have proposed building new immigration detention centers in Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana, responding to a request from Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials stepping up arrests in the center of the country. The proposals, most by for-profit corrections contractors, were submitted to ICE after it put out a request in October for detention sites near Chicago, Detroit, Salt Lake City and St. Paul. ICE disclosed the proposals in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by the National...

There’s almost always a glimmer of hope that a proposal will make it through, until the House and Senate are forced by state law to adjourn on “the first Monday after the third Saturday in May.” https://www.twincities.com/2018/05/13/with-a-week-to-go-at-the-legislature-what-issues-are-alive-on-life-support-and-not-dead-yet/...
As Gov. Mark Dayton toured the state this week making the case for $138 million in emergency spending for schools, Republicans accused the Democratic leader of exaggerating the fiscal urgency schools face to make a political point. State Rep. Jenifer Loon, R-Eden Prairie, notes that the $18.8 billion, two-year education budget approved last May included significant new spending. And Dayton’s plan gives the additional money to every district when not all of them are facing shortfalls. https://www.twincities.com/2018/05/10/mar...

Advocates push to expand federally backed school choice under the Trump administration has pretty much fallen flat this Congress—but a House vote later this month might give them some hope. As we've written before, Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., has introduced legislation to create education savings accounts using a relatively "small portion" of federal Impact Aid, which helps districts' whose tax base is impacted by government activities—think military bases. (However, the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools, which opposes the bil...
