  • Navajo attorney general’s job safe

    By Felicia Fonseca
    Window Rock, Arizona (AP)

    The job of the Navajo Nation’s attorney general is safe.

    The Tribal Council voted 60-20 June 30 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.
