Secretary: Indian trust reform will cost hundreds of millions
Interior Secretary Gale Norton told Congress the overhaul of the Indian trust fund system will cost hundreds of millions of dollars and require sweeping changes. Since 1994 the Office of Special Trustee has spent 614 million, yet major accounting flaws persist and a data fix remains elusive. Norton aims to create a new bureau and push for agreement with tribal leaders, while critics urge Congress to act if she cannot fix the system. Continued computer security costs and offline status complicate royalty payments to Native Americans.
