Braze Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2025 ResultsA tentative agreement allowing Cherokee citizens living outside the tribal jurisdiction to continue registering motor vehicles with the nation has been reached, the Cherokee Nation and Gov. Kevin Stitt's office said Tuesday. The 10-year compact, which calls for the Cherokee Nation to pay the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority $2 million over three years to clear outstanding tolls for Cherokee-tagged vehicles, must still be approved by the Cherokee Tribal Council and Oklahoma Legislature’s Joint Committee on State-Tribal Relations. The current compact expires at the end of the year. "We’re all Oklahomans, and we all drive on the same roads and bridges," Stitt said in a joint press release. "It’s important that we’re all contributing to the things that make us a top ten state. I appreciate the cooperation of Cherokee leadership to reach an agreement, especially as it pertains to the ability to collect tolls on our turnpikes.” People are also reading...

I am grateful for the good faith negotiations from our partners in Oklahoma and the support of the Cherokee people for this fundamental exercise of our self-determination and government interests.” While most tribes in Oklahoma issue license plates to their members, only three — Cherokee, Choctaw and Chickasaw — share tag revenue with the state. The current Cherokee compact allows Oklahoma tribal members living outside the reservation to register vehicles with the Cherokee Nation. That would continue under the new agreement but with somewhat different rules. According to the Cherokee Nation and the governor's office, elements of the compact include: • Cherokee Nation will continue operating its seven tag offices. Cherokee living outside the Cherokee Nation utilize Service Oklahoma or Cherokee Nation tag offices. • Cherokee Nation will share driver information for the OTA's PlatePay system and pay $2 million over a three-year period. The governor says tribal license plates are costing the OTA millions of dollars a year because the turnpikes' new system can't identify the tags' owners. • Consistent with the previous compact, Cherokee Nation will continue to upload registration information to the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Telecommunications System for public safety purposes. • Five counties (Tulsa, Wagoner, Rogers, Muskogee and Mayes) with divided tribal jurisdictions, commonly known as the expanded jurisdiction, will move from the previous compact model to the new at-large model. Over the next four years, all at-large vehicles tagged under the previous compact will be exempt from Oklahoma renewal requirements and can continue to register with the Cherokee Nation. Following this period, at-large Cherokee citizens will have the option to renew at a state tag office or at a Cherokee Nation tag office. • Additional funds Oklahoma secures from taxes and fees associated with vehicles principally garaged outside the Cherokee Nation will be expended consistent with Oklahoma law for infrastructure, education, and other public purposes. The Cherokee Nation will continue to receive a remittance from at-large tag sales and related rebates. • The Cherokee Nation will continue to allocate funds each year from the sales of Cherokee Nation car tags for public schools, road improvements, and law enforcement, as more specifically outlined in the compact.

Germany to tighten criminal law as people-smuggling ‘action plan’ agreed with UKThe sexual assault of two 11-year-old girls during a sleepover was solved more than 36 years later with help from forensic genetic genealogy, Washington police said. The assault in June 1988 by a then-unknown man “profoundly affected” the community, the Port Angeles Police Department wrote in a Dec. 27 post on Facebook. Kim John Cederleaf, of Quilcene, was identified as the suspect through forensic genetic genealogy, with testing of genetic material from his autopsy “conclusively solving the case,” police said. Cederleaf died in 2013, police said. Police didn’t share information about his background. The two girls were having “a sleepover in a playhouse attic” when a man forced his way in, threatened them and physically and sexually assaulted them, police said. Officers and detectives “responded promptly, conducting extensive searches, interviews, and evidence collection. This included physical evidence such as photographs, latent prints, bedding, and an article of clothing believed to belong to the suspect, as well as biological samples from sexual assault examinations,” police said. Officials canvassed, took tips from the public, created a suspect sketch, turned to FBI profiling specialists and submitted evidence for fingerprint analysis, police said. They also eventually uploaded a DNA profile to a national database and shared it with Interpol, police said, yet results still didn’t come. Then in 2023, a Port Angeles police official reached out to a forensic genealogist who “provided guidance on the potential of using forensic genetic genealogy (FGG) analysis for cold cases,” police said. FGG couples DNA analysis and genealogy research, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The analysis identified Cederleaf as the suspect, and genetic material from his eye that was saved from his autopsy confirmed that his DNA matched, according to police. “The resolution represents the culmination of bravery from the victims, meticulous police work, and advancements in forensic technology,” police said. “The victims’ courage to participate with investigators over the years, despite the trauma they endured, was pivotal in keeping the case active and eventually solving it. Their resilience and determination to seek justice have been a source of inspiration to all involved.” Port Angeles is about a 140-mile drive northwest from Seattle.Alberta cancels foreign worker recruitment trip to United Arab Emirates

Sean Keeler: Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders set new bar in Boulder. Will Julian Lewis rise to meet it?Pep Guardiola sure 75 per cent of Premier League clubs want Man City relegatedPresident-elect Donald Trump joined the chorus of people raising concerns about mysterious drone sightings over New Jersey and other states on the East Coast, calling on government officials to shoot down the aircraft if they are truly unidentifiable. In a Friday post on his social media platform Truth Social , Trump indicated that he believes authorities know more about the drones than they are letting on. “Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country. Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge. I don [sic] think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shot [sic] them down!!! DJT,” the president-elect wrote. Residents of Morris County, New Jersey, first started reporting nighttime sightings of the drones last month. Since then, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have investigated the objects and are looking into whether people are seeing actual drones, manned aircraft or something else. “We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus,” the FBI and DHS said in a joint statement Thursday. “Upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft, operating lawfully. There are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted air space.” Nevertheless, reports of drone sightings continued to proliferate on Friday, with even former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan posting video of what he said were “dozens of large drones” flying over his home on Thursday night. Individuals in New York and Connecticut have also reported seeing the aircraft. Trump’s missive came after White House national security spokesperson John Kirby appeared on Fox News ’ “The Story” on Friday afternoon, where host Martha MacCallum pressed him about whether officials really do not have an explanation for the drone sightings. “I’m not going to lie to you or to the American people, and I’m not going to say we know something when we don’t,” Kirby said. “And we would never, ever stoop to think that an American citizen was crazy or nuts because of what they’re seeing and what they’re documenting. We’re taking that imagery seriously and we’re doing the best we can to analyze it, and we encourage people to come forward if they have additional sightings.” “Why not just take one down and figure out what’s going on?” MacCallum asked. “We don’t have enough conclusions to take that kind of a policy action,” Kirby replied. “But let’s just assume for a minute, Martha, that we did. You’re not going to want to shoot something down where it could hit somebody’s house, or hurt somebody.” Don't let this be the end of the free press.

Biden “has tasked the team to look into this and to be energetic in doing it, to try to get answers,” Kirby said. Related From Our Partner
