The federal government has filed a False Claims Act suit against the business arm of a Wisconsin tribe. The suit against Menominee Tribal Enterprises alleges that MTE falsely billed the Bureau of Indian Affairs for fire suppression and roadwork but instead used the money to purchase equipment and build a garage.
An Associated Press report on the suit was in the April 3, 2007 issue of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal.
