OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
EDITORIAL: Using the “z” word
Most communities don’t like it. When it comes to land use, owners don’t like to be told how they can, or can’t use their land.
EDITORIAL: Can we handle the truth, or even recognize it?
If ever there was an example of why we need clear, concise law, it is the situation we find ourselves in now. We are now finding that it is going to take a court session (or three) to figure the difference between the “letter of the law” and the “essence of the law”.
EDITORIAL: Trumped
“Does a resolution trump an ordinance?” This and many other questions were presented during Tribal Council last week.
