Federal funding cuts are affecting several key programs at Teton County Library in Wyoming, including the CHOW (Community Health Outreach Workers) program, which helped locals with healthcare paperwork. Library Executive Director Kip Roberson noted that the program was popular, with people often waiting outside to get in. Unfortunately, the loss of federal support means that the CHOW program will end at the end of the month, though the county is providing staffing until June. Other programs, such as a senior art connection initiative, also faced funding cuts, though the Teton County Library Foundation is stepping in to support those efforts.
Meanwhile, the Navajo Nation Council has confirmed Jeanine Jones as the new Auditor General. Jones, a forensic auditor and former acting Auditor General, aims to modernize audit procedures, strengthen local accountability, and restore public trust in the Nation’s programs and chapters.
