After much debate, media scrutiny and a national lawsuit, the U.S. Treasury Department is finally distributing CARES Act corona- virus relief funds to tribal governments, but it is far from payment in full, as promised.
The Legislature met this past week for the first time since early April. While we took a break from meeting in person for a time, we continued to work from home throughout the past several weeks to serve our constituents.
In the midst of Covid-19, one of the deepest psychosies' is loneliness. "Social distance," sliding take-out tacos under the door, being served pizza across the counter like a Frisbee, having to carry a measuring tape and whip it out like Marshall Dillon to confirm 6 feet every time some masked stranger comes your way...all to prevent civil discourse and staying friends. IT IS DEPRESSING. Those of you historians familiar with the pioneers who came west know they often found themselves in the lonely isolation that some of us are feeling today. Yet we RISE TO THE OCCASION, BRAVE AND INSPIRED TO MAKE THE BEST OF IT.
