WASHINGTON – Republican U.S. Rep. John Kline has spent the last few years trying to broker the rarest of deals in Washington, a bipartisan accord on a deeply controversial and entrenched education accountability measure. Kline achieved his biggest and most lasting political accomplishment Thursday as he stood on stage in the White House while President Obama signed into law a massive overhaul of the federal No Child Left Behind Act. The new measure gained both the support of die-hard conservatives and Democrats like U.S. Sen. Al Franken, a h...
Essar Steel Minnesota still owes Iron Range contractors millions of dollars. “There is a nasty little story going on here,” said Rep. Tom Anzelc, DFL chair of the Minnesota Legislature’s Iron Range delegation. “The contractors have not been paid in full.” On Nov. 30, Gov.

His father, Charlie, who called for the firing in a Tuesday post on Facebook, wrote that the image was rejected because “in their words, it promotes violence and breaks federal and state law.” He goes on to que...
LE BOURGET, France – The climate deal being negotiated here is meant to begin a transformation of the world’s energy systems, but it has another goal that has received far less attention: a sweeping effort to save the world’s forests. Dozens of countries put forests at the center of the plans they submitted ahead of the conference, near Paris. As the talks began, more than 60 heads of state emphasized their commitment to forest conservation. If a deal is reached this week and the plans go into effect in 2020, these nations will have commi...
Kokon To Zai, the clothing company notorious for showcasing a design earlier this year that bore an uncanny resemblance to a Bethany Yellowtail (Crow) creation, has been nailed again for allegedly ripping off a sacred Inuit design. “We’re going to get legal advice about our options,” said Salome Awa, Inuit, about the appropriation of a sacred parka by KTZ, a British firm. “There should be an international law protecting Indian garments, they’re sacred.” Read more at http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2015/12/10/busted...

Assistant Secretary Kevin Washburn will leave the Bureau of Indian Affairs in January after more than three years of service in the Obama administration. Washburn, a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, joined the BIA in September 2012. He quickly won praise for his defense of the Indian Child Welfare Act, his push to approve more land-into-trust applications and his handling of controversial issues like the federal recognition process in the face of pressure from Republican lawmakers and non-Indian groups. “Kevin is a tireless change agent for I...
