Loophole could give pay increase to council
Navajo Nation Council seeks a salary raise without voter approval by using a memo from chief legislative counsel Steve Boos. The loophole relies on amendments proposed by the Navajo Nation Commission on Navajo Government Development and would sidestep chapter ratification if the commission initiates the change and the council adopts the amendment. The plan faces vetoes and lacks enough chapter resolutions to pass, with inflation reducing the value of the current $25 000 salary and total annual costs above $2.2 million.
