THURSDAY, MAY 23, 2002

The Grand Forks Herald in an editorial today calls on the Turtle Mountain Ojibwe Tribe of North Dakota to reform its constitution in order to resolve a "messy" situation.

The paper cites a dispute between Chairman Richard Monette and the tribal council. Monette is the subject of a removal effort which he claims is the result of an investigation he conducted which reveals financial problems.

The paper says some of the acrimony could be resolved by creating a government that has separation of powers.
