The Cabazon Band of Mission Indians fired three top executives on Thursday, the latest in the California tribe's ongoing financial shakeup.

The tribe fired the chief executive officer, the chief operating officer and the director of public affairs. A tribal official said the move was needed to save costs and provide more services to tribal members.

Just last month, the tribe eliminated its entire police department and fire crew.
