Tonkawa Tribe rejects nuclear waste site proposal
In a divisive vote the Tonkawa Tribe defeated a plan to build a monitored retrievable storage facility near Chilocco in north central Oklahoma. The 44 to 58 vote, with one abstention, halted talks with the federal government over construction, despite promises of jobs and money. Opponents contended health risks and long term effects outweighed any economic gain.

Cattle dealer sues USDA over beef checkoff fee
A northwest Kansas cattle dealer sues the USDA claiming the $1 per head beef promotion checkoff violates Congress authority. The suit, filed as the agency pursues a collection action, seeks to block enforcement as the Beef Promotion Act funds the national campaign “Beef It’s What’s for Dinner.” The Beef Council enforces checkoff rules in Kansas, with subpoenas issued for records Goetz allegedly did not turn over. The legal challenge follows a 1989 federal ruling upholding the act’s constitutionality.
