Papago Pressure on Berger Spurs Bar Association Action
Papago leader Michael Rios told more than 200 Papagos Apaches Pimas and Navajos that he will file a case with the Arizona Bar Association over tribal attorney Edward B Berger who resigned May 17 amid accusations of overpayment and high fees. Rios described lavish efforts to win renewal of Berger's 179000 dollar three year contract while the tribe's income neared 300000 dollars last year. He cited Berger riding around the reservation in a 1973 Lincoln Continental to persuade council members to sign the renewal and claimed Berger received nearly 1 million in legal fees in three years for settlements with mining firms and work for the Papago Tribal Utility Authority and Central Arizona Project though Berger denies payments since last November.
