No Decision From Klickitat County Commissioners On Glenwood Appeal

Klickitat County Commissioners discussed in executive session but did not announce a decision on whether to proceed with an appeal of Friday’s reaffirmation by three Ninth U.S. Court of Appeals judges that the Glenwood Valley is part of the Yakama reservation.  Commission Chair David Sauter said after the meeting that they have three options:  let the decision stand, petition for the full Ninth Circuit to hear the case, or petition the Supreme Court to consider it.  Sauter says there are many factors to consider in the decision, including their relationship with the Yakama Nation.  The Ninth U.S. Court of Appeals reaffirmed on Friday an August 2019 U.S. District Court decision that the 121,466 acre Tract D is within the reservation.  Klickitat County has 14 days from the ruling on Friday to make a decision on petitioning for review.
