Navajo president pushes reduction of tribal lawmakers
By Felicia Fonseca
Window Rock, Arizona (AP) Navajo President Joe Shirley Jr. is moving forward with a plan to reform tribal government, and first on his wish list is reducing the Tribal Council from 88 delegates to 24. Shirley’s staff filed paperwork April 29 with the tribe’s election office that will start the process in gathering signatures to put the question before voters. Petitioners have six months to collect about 16,000 signatures, but Shirley said the goal is to get at least 25,000 in 90 days so the matter could go before voters in the November elections. |
