The Navajo Nation Council Health, Education & Human Services Committee is among the Council’s four Council oversight committees to begin conducting hearings on proposed 2021 budgets of programs under their oversight. The HEHS Committee’s annual budget hearings are from Aug. 24 to 28 and the hearings begin daily at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Monday’s morning hearing ended with the HEHS tabling the Navajo VA proposed 2021 because of numerous questions regarding data on number of veterans on the Navajo Nation; distribution of funds to Navajo veterans’ organizations; chapter involvement in veterans’ money, and over spending of veteran’s budgets.
HEHS will review the NVA proposed 2021 budget during their Aug. 27 and 28 follow up on proposed 2021 budgets that required additional information. The committee continues its Aug. 24 budget hearings at 1 p.m.
