Window Rock reports Navajo Nation veterans may vote on a Veterans Act and decide if the Veterans Affairs Department should become an enterprise or a new division. Hearing dates are set for October with community input welcome. The department now runs eight staff from a trailer at a cost around 1.5 million annually.
