Lawmakers hold closed-door meeting amid probe into DCS
Lawmakers held a closed-door stakeholder meeting following the high-profile murders of three kids known to the Department of Child Safety.
Elected officials, law enforcement, and tribal leaders discussed crucial improvements to the child welfare system.
"There are some gaps, but we're working towards them," said Pascua Yaqui Tribe Councilman Jose-Enrique Saldana.
Not everyone who attended the meeting was ready to talk, but those who were called the discussion a good starting point.
"I feel that the meeting was very productive, and it was positive," said Senator Carine Werner.
