Navajo Council special session started

As I was waiting for Navajo Council special session to start, I did an interview with Controller Mark Grant, Navajo Department of Justice attorney Marcellino Gomez and Orrick partner/bond counsel Douglas Goe. Orrick, according to Orrick website, is a global law firm focusing on energy, technology and financing. Council started so finish this later.
