Navajo
President to Select Casino Developer
As reported by the Independent:
"Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr.
'should be making a selection in the very near
future' on a developer for the tribe's casino,
according to legislative counselor Michelle
Dotson.
"Dotson
made her comments during a workshop on Indian
gaming in the council's chambers.
"Although
some delegates were disgruntled by Shirley taking
the decision onto himself, Dotson said Shirley
is merely trying to get the ball rolling. Once
a Tribal Gaming Enterprise is in place, he will
turn that duty over to it, Dotson said.
"The
president will only pick the developer for the
first casino to be located in Nahata Dziil and
then requests for proposals will go out again
for future construction, Dotson said…"
