Navajo Attorney General's Job Safe


Associated Press
       WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. — The job of the Navajo Nation's attorney general is safe.
    The Tribal Council voted 60-20 Monday in a special session to keep Louis Denetsosie in the post he has held since 2003.
    It was the third time in Denetsosie's tenure that he had faced removal from office. The council reprimanded him in 2003, contending he favored the executive branch over the tribe as a whole.
    Monday's attempt to remove Denetsosie partly centered on a legal opinion he wrote that supports an initiative by the tribe's president to reduce the number of council delegates.
    Some delegates said Monday they could no longer trust Denetsosie to be impartial.
    Others said the legislation did not outline any wrongdoing and they saw no reason to fire Denetsosie.
