Stitt compact proposal addresses public-safety challenges

To address the growing problem of unregistered tribal tags creating roadside danger for law enforcement, and to ensure all Oklahoma drivers pay tolls on state turnpikes, Gov. Kevin Stitt has submitted a model compact to all tribes that issue tribal license plates.

Under the compact, the State of Oklahoma would manufacture all tribal tags and therefore also have records of associated registration information. Tribal governments would face no associated cost from production and registration but would nonetheless receive a significant share of tag revenue to use as they wish.

“As you are likely aware, the State of Oklahoma has recently entered new, long-term motor vehicle registration and license tag compacts with the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations,” Stitt wrote in a letter sent to numerous tribal government leaders. “Those compacts reflect a carefully considered agreement that provides mutual benefit to the State and the respective Tribal Nations. The purpose of this letter is to further convey my desire to enter long-term motor vehicle registration and license tag compacts with all of Oklahoma’s tribal partners. To that end, my office has prepared the attached model compact, which reflects the same terms as those agreed to by the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations.”

Under Stitt’s proposal, members of any compacting tribe would pay the same amount for a tribal tag that non-Indians pay for traditional state-issued car tags. Much of that money supports road maintenance in Oklahoma.

But compacting tribes would receive a significant share of the funds generated by the sale of their tribe’s tags, and the compacts state that compacting tribes may use those funds at the tribe’s “exclusive discretion,” and tribal governments may even use that revenue to provide rebates to tribal citizens to offset the cost of purchasing a tribal tag.

The agreement would also make it easier for many tribal citizens to obtain tribal…

Key Takeaways:

  • Sadr Renews The Call To Close The U.S. Embassy; IHEC Proposes New Date For The Kurdistan Region’s Legislative Elections – On May 28, Muqtada al-Sadr called for the expulsion of the U.S. ambassador and the closure of Washington’s embassy “without bloodshed.” Sadr made his call in response to continued U.S. support for Israel, which he accused of committing war crimes and acts of terrorism against civilians in Gaza. Sadr followed up with a televised speech on May 29, in which he attacked the U.S. over what he called double standards and enabling Israeli genocide against Palestinians. Notably, Sadr’s speech displayed the new banner of his rebranded political movement, the National Shia Trend (al-Tayyar al-Watani al-Shee’ie). On May 29, Iraq’s Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) sent a letter to the president of the KRG in which it proposed September 5 as the new date for holding the long-delayed legislative elections in the region. The KRG has yet to make a public response to the proposal. In other developments, on May 26, Iraqi PM Mohammed al-Sudani discussed with the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, his government’s request to end the work of the UN Assistance Mission to Iraq (UNAMI), and the timeline for reducing staff levels at the mission. On May 30, KRG PM Masrour Barzani held a series of meetings with Iraqi leaders, starting with National Security Adviser Qasim al-Araji and PM Sudani. Barzani said his goal was to focus on mutual priorities and common interests in counter-terrorism, dealing with climate change, and cooperation in building stronger business ties and developing Iraq’s banking sector, and not get stuck on “the decade-old disputes.” more…

New Park, Welakamike Creekside Park​, Created In Collegeville

COLLEGEVILLE, PA — A Montgomery County municipality, federal, state, and county leaders, a local college, and a nonprofit have all teamed up to create a new park for the community along Perkiomen Creek.

The new Welakamike Creekside Park in Collegeville is located just off of First Avenue, above Central Perkiomen Park and just below Perkiomen Bridge and Ridge Pike. It runs along the creek from Main Street roughly to the end of the Collegeville Shopping Center on Route 29.

It was in part created thanks to FEMA grants which allowed Collegeville to purchase 20 homes which had been damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Ida. The name “Welakamike” means “pretty place” or “good land” in the Lenape language, a heritage which the park creators aimed to honor.

“The park celebrates the Delaware Tribe (of the Lenape) as the original, indigenous inhabitants of the Collegeville area,” Collegeville borough council president Catherine Kernen told Patch.

After purchasing the roughly block-long swath of damaged homes and land, Collegeville worked with the the Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy to reseed the area and restore the boat launch.

While the final bits of construction on the park are still being hammered out, there is a 15-space parking lot and a trail connection along the creek that was built by the Lower Providence Regional Sewer Authority.

A special grand opening celebration will be held on Saturday at noon, featuring guest speakers like Montgomery County Commissioner Jamila Winder, State Rep. Joe Webster, State Sen. Tracy Pennycuick, and Delaware Tribe of Indians Cultural Education Director Jeremy Johnson.

In addition to the borough, the Delaware Tribe, and Perkiomen Watershed, Kernen said that Ursinus College, the PA Fish and Boat Commission, Schuylkill Highlands Conservation Landscape Initiative, Duck Inn Owner Mark Marino, Perkiomen Valley School District, and Collegeville Fire Company all assisted in helping…

A farewell message from Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert (28 May 2024) [EN/AR/KU]

Attachments

As my tenure as Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq draws to a close, I wish to express my gratitude and deep appreciation to all Iraqis, in particular those I have met and worked with.

Over the past five years, I was repeatedly touched by the generosity and hospitality of a people who never departed from their tradition of welcoming an outsider or assisting those in need, even if at the expense of their own comfort or time. I learned much from listening to Iraqi women and men explaining their history with pride. Though many faced down serious challenges, an optimism for the days ahead often shone through. They welcomed me and other UN colleagues into their towns and homes, inviting us to join for a meal or an event and never passing up an opportunity to showcase Iraq’s rich culture and immense beauty. Throughout the country, including the Kurdistan Region, countless people of all ages spontaneously shared, time and again, their hopes and aspirations. And I will forget none of them.

I also truly valued the professional meetings and discussions we had with a wide spectrum of partners. From civil society representatives, academics, tribal chiefs and religious leaders to local, provincial and national authorities, judges, security officials and politicians. Needless to say, their insights and perspectives taught us a great deal and guided our work. Some of these meetings involved individuals putting everyday differences aside to find solutions at critical junctures for Iraq. All such engagement left an indelible impression on me. And, of course, I cannot overstate our gratitude to the many branches of Iraq’s government, which, through relentless efforts, facilitated our work and protected UN personnel and operations.

None of this is to say that the UN has been immune to criticism -…

Robotic Russian cargo ship leaves the ISS and burns up in Earth’s atmosphere (photo)

An unmanned Russian cargo spacecraft crashed back to Earth today (May 28) as planned.

The Progress 86 freighter detached from the International Space Station (ISS) today at 4:39 a.m. EDT (0839 GMT) and returned to Earth.

Progress 86 gave up the ghost a few hours later and burned up over the Pacific Ocean as planned, NASA officials said in an update.

Progress 86 was launched on December 1, 2023 atop a Russian Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The cargo ship arrived at the ISS two days later and delivered 2,540 pounds of food, scientific hardware and other supplies to astronauts aboard the spaceship. laboratory.

Progress 86 did not remain empty today; in its last hours it acted as a garbage truck, hauling waste down for incineration in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Four spacecraft remain parked at the ISS: the Dragon capsule carrying SpaceX’s Crew-8 astronaut mission for NASA, a Russian Soyuz spacecraft, the Progress 87 freighter and a Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo vehicle.

Like Progress, Cygnus is designed for single use. But the Soyuz and both versions of SpaceX’s Dragon – the cargo and crewed variants – survive the harrowing journey through our planet’s skies. Soyuz lands firmly on terra, and Dragon makes gentle ocean splashes.
