These are a couple of links to local stories

This one is about a private jail that was built in Hardin as an economic development, but remains empty.

This one is about setting up a legal system that will enable banks and others to have secured loans on the reservation. I've been aware for 2 years that because of tribal land ownership on the reservation home mortgages were impossible to obtain except on deeded land. I didn't realize that loans for cars, mobile homes and other equipment were also difficult to obtain.
