Last Friday, I listened to a significant zoom meeting. It was held in Tulelake with our Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors cooperatively meeting with Modoc County Supervisors and the Klamath County Commissioners. The goal of the meeting was to approve two letters: One to California and Oregon Congress officials and state legislators asking for financial help regarding the Klamath Project due to its tragic lack of irrigation water for 2021. The second was to U.S. President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. also asking for help.
Our Siskiyou County Board Chairman Ray Haupt, made the motions to approve both letters, which passed overwhelmingly.

Two weeks ago we were at two to five cases a day, now we are nine to 15 a day, Siskiyou County Public Health Director Shelly Davis told the board of supervisors Tuesday morning. It does concern me with what it will look like going forward, said Davis about a slide back to the red tier.
