The NSW Coalition government is rorting its way into an ignominious decline just like the last Labor government (“Bushfire fund projects required minimum spend of $1m, Barilaro says”, February 9). Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have an honest government which has morality, just for a change? Is it too much to ask for a Premier and Deputy Premier who do not think it’s OK to use public money to buy votes? -
FARMINGTON President Joe Biden has issued a major disaster declaration for the Navajo Nation over the coronavirus pandemic, a move that opens federal resources to sustain the tribe's ongoing response effort. Today's major disaster declaration for the Navajo Nation affirms federal support to Navajo leaders and tribal members and the nation-nation.
SAND SPRINGS, Oklahoma -
The Sand Springs Police Department has released new details in what officers are calling a gruesome triple murder-suicide that happened over the weekend.
Police identified the victims as 41-year-old Anastacia (Stacy) Lynn Smith, her 4-year-old daughter River Gale Ross, and her 2-year-old daughter Piper Ann Ross.
Police said they believe 31-year old Phillip Ross killed his two little girls and their mother, before killing himself.
Chief Mike Carter said this was the worst thing he’s seen in his 28 years in law enforcement. The community is hurting right now because this tragedy not only affects the people that were there, but their loved ones, their friends, their churches. One of the things that makes Sand Springs great is we come together in times like this, said Carter.
