Walz: White Earth, Leech Lake should not have pay back $29M used for opioid treatment

Correction: An earlier version of this story did not explain that the recommendation from the governor first had to be approved by the state Legislature, which is the next step. It has been updated to reflect the right information. We regret the error.

Good news for the White Earth and Leech Lake nations: If Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has his way, they won’t be required to come up with $29 million to make up for a miscommunication by the state of Minnesota.
