Thumbs up to the Bishop Paiute Tribe for doing the right thing! Putting the health and safety of all the people above the profits of the tribe.
Amen. When this situation descended on us last spring the Tribe immediately recognized that the Casino couldn’t continue without rethinking what had to be done. Would that everyone were as conscientious.
