• Long-awaited bill to settle Navajo Nation water rights in San Juan County passed by Congress

  22-12-2020 22:34
  
  Soon after COVID-19 was identified in the Navajo Nation in March and its per capita case rate exceeded all U.S. states, a common refrain emerged among health care workers, tribal leaders and members of Congress: It’s time to finally address water availability issues on the Navajo Nation.In June, the Senate unanimously passed the Utah Navajo Water Rights Settlement Act, a long-awaited piece of legislation aimed to do just that for the Utah portion of the reservation. The legislation would r

  Growing up in rural northern Louisiana, everyone I knew, at least every household, seemed to have guns. Men had guns racked in the back windows of their pickup trucks, and pistols under their seats. Women, like my mother, tucked smaller handguns into their purses.My hometown, Gibsland, a flyspeck of a place, was and is majority Black. Gun ownership was the norm in those parts, including in the Black community. It was not associated with danger but with safety. There were many older Black people

  A group of rural counties in Utah has suspended a highway construction project that would run through the Book Cliffs in Grand County.The group — called the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition — unanimously voted Friday to halt the project because of opposition from residents who live in the county where the highway would be built, KUER-FM reported.The 35-mile road was first proposed in the 1980s to move oil out of the Uinta Basin, county officials said.

• Jennifer Senior: Maybe Congress needs more people from the School of Hard Knocks

  22-12-2020 20:16
  
  Over the last few decades, Congress has diversified in important ways. It has gotten less white, less male, less straight — all positive developments. But as I was staring at one of the many recent Senate hearings, filled with the usual magisterial blustering and self-important yada yada, it dawned on me that there’s a way that Congress has moved in a wrong direction, and become quite brazenly unrepresentative.No, it’s not that the place seethes with millionaires, though there&

  The not-a-stimulus deal Congress reached over the weekend — seriously, this is about disaster relief, not boosting the economy — didn’t come a moment too soon. Actually, it came much too late: Crucial aid to many unemployed Americans and businesses expired months ago. But now some of that aid is back, for a while.True, the aid will be less generous than it was in the spring and summer: $300 a week in enhanced unemployment benefits, rather than $600. But because the workers stil

  The Utah Legislature’s decision to exclude Salt Lake City School District teachers from receiving a $1,500 COVID bonus unless the district returns to in-person instruction by the start of the 2021 legislative session (Jan. 19) is punitive and demoralizing to teachers.First, the decision to remain online was made by the school board, and teachers should not be penalized for this. Second, and most importantly, online instruction is just as taxing for teachers (if not more) as in-person instr
