Tribe seeks Congress power over Navajo business leases
The Navajo Nation urges Congress to remove the U S Bureau of Indian Affairs from business site lease approvals, aiming to speed up processes that currently take months or years. Tony Skrelunas leads the effort, with tribal officials noting gaps in tribal offices’ duties like bond and insurance verification. The move echoes past discussions dating to Peter MacDonald’s era and mirrors steps used by the Tulalip Tribe in Washington.

County seeks return of 8000 from CSC over inmate funds
McKinley County accuses Correctional Services Corp. of keeping eight thousand dollars from the Inmate Trust Fund after CSC operated the Gallup detention center from 1997 until January. CSC contends only about three thousand eight hundred dollars remain and notes many former inmates cashed checks or have little funds left. The dispute, linked to withholdings from CSC's final payment for building repairs and unpaid bills, continues as officials seek to return funds to inmates or local trustees while negotiations proceed.
