Interior secretary pick sparks native protests
Native American groups and The Morning Star Institute voice deep concern that former Senator Slade Gorton could be named interior secretary under President elect George W. Bush. They warn his tenure could curtail tribal sovereignty and federal treaties with 558 federally recognized tribes. Some see him as a viable Bush choice, while others view his selection as a political hedge before the election. A Washington Post article later linked Gorton with potential nomination alongside Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell.

High DWI case dismissals stir New Mexico police ire
Gallup New Mexico State Police accuse the McKinley County District Attorney of dismissing or pleaing down a large share of DWI cases over two years. Capt. Glenn Thomas says officers will prosecute their own misdemeanors now, citing a 39 to 42 percent dismissal or plea rate in recent DWI filings and blaming the DA’s office for insufficient prosecutions while noting some dismissals reflect arresting errors.
