Petition seeks to oust Southern Ute chairman from office
Members of the Southern Ute Tribe of Colorado are gathering signatures for a recall petition against Chairman Matthew Box.
James Jefferson said in a statement to The Durango Herald that Box has shown "gross negligence" and a "serious lack of leadership." Jefferson said Box has given too much discretion to managers of Southern Ute Indian Tribe Growth Fund.
Jefferson ran for chairman in 2008 but didn't get enough votes to advance past a primary. Box won the general election.
Box is in Washington, D.C., to testify at a Senate Indian Affairs
Committee hearing on Indian energy.
