Seventeen employees of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, based on thé reservation, were off the job
since the federal government shutdown. The per
capita checks were also delayed in October, due to
the shutdown. BIAWarm Springs Agency
Superintendent John Halliday was on the job,
though not receiving pay, as the superintendent
must be on hand in case of emergency. One
inconvenience of the shutdown happened at the jail,
a BIA facility. A boiler at the jail was down with no
employee to restart the equipment, leaving the
inmates in the cold. The problem was eventually
addressed.
