The way it looks this is going to be almost impossible given all of the competing factions. I am sure they will come up with something for convenience sake and no one is going to be happy. Personally I would work to find tribal members who are respected elders and who have not been part of the problem that got the tribe in such bad shape.

It is wonderful to see that the County is taking a stand that the tribe must deal with the internal strife that caused the closure in the first place, and deal with it in a democratic way.

I don't like it anymore than Madera County does but... it is what it is. Madera has a lot of people out of work and so does the tribe. I feel like the tribe is being bullied by Madera County asking for money we don't have. They claim because the sheriff dept. was used we owe we owe we owe. Under public law 280 the sheriff MUST come out on calls whether we have money or not. Why are they trying to charge us money ? We've given millions over the years. The county needs to stop this extortion and focus on getting over 1000 people back to work. The employees have suffered with trying to live off low unemployment benefits which have run out . Is giving them foodstamps the answer or is giving their job back the answer?nickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05858988052815499269noreply@blogger.com
