Lac du Flambeau Band won't lose $250K grant from state

Thursday, May 23, 2013  

The Wisconsin Building Commission won't be revoking a $250,000 grant for the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa.

The tribe received the money for a cultural center. A Republican lawmaker wanted to revoke the grant due to a dispute over tribal fishing limits.

Rep. Dean Kaufert (R), however, decided to drop the effort. He said the tribe's limits won't be affecting non-Indian fishermen.
