Is a reduction to 24 Navajo Nation Council delegates government reform?
• No, a reduction to 24 Council delegates is not government reform. The Navajo President claims a Council reduction to 24 members will save the Nation money. Supporters of the reduction fail to acknowledge that a 24 member Council will spend the same as an 88 member Council, because a majority of the money Council receives goes right back into the hands of Navajo constituents.
