Chairman’s Report Measures 82 and 83 Vote no on Measures 82 and 83. Increased promotional material, television and radio ads are urging Orego nians to support the non-Tribal casino proposed for Wood Village near Portland, Ore. Two Oregon businessmen from Lake Oswego and a Canadian investment com pany are financing what they call "The Grange" (i.e., the Portland casino). As you may recall, this came before Oregon voters in 2010; one of the mea sures passed and one failed. Failure to pass the constitutional change prevented the proponents from moving forward at that time. Supporters of this measure say it is good for Oregon - it is not. Vote no on Measures 82 and 83. Elections Joe Jay Pinkham It is extremely important that every Tribal member register to vote, not only in Tribal elections but in the general, national elections. You still have time to register to vote in this year’s presidential election. Whether you are Republican or Democrat, it is important to express your preference in the election. At stake this year are many issues that affect Indian Tribes. Congress has been at a stalemate with regard to taking care of business. Appropriations have been passed for only the first six months ofFY2013. If sequestration is allowed, which it sounds like may happen, all budgets will be reduced across the board by 10 percent. This would be devastating to our BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) and IHS (Indian Health Service) budgets. 1 attended funeral services in Toppen ish, Wash., for our good friend last month. Joe Jay served on the Yakama Tribal Council for many, many years. He worked tirelessly for his Tribe as well as many other Tribes nationally, including ours. He worked to improve health care and particularly the care of our veterans. He was a role model for Tribal leaders. He visited Siletz many times over the years, supported our Restoration and was one of our esteemed Restoration speakers in the recent past. Our condolences go to his family.
