Ongoing efforts have been made to contact William “Blake” Follis and other Modoc Nation officials. Attempts have also been made to contact Tulelake Basin individuals to obtain information and their points of view about the various controversies, such as the future of the Tulelake Municipal Airport.

Some individuals, who claim biased reporting, have declined to comment while others provided only limited responses. Likewise, some Tule Lake Committee members have questioned what they believe is a reluctance by the Herald and News to publish articles about their concerns.
