Cobell: Send Gale Norton to jail

FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 2002

Secretary of Interior Gale Norton should be sent to jail for her handling of the Individual Indian Money (IIM) trust, Elouise Cobell said on Thursday.

"One of the reasons we've had this corruption for so long is there's no sanctions," Cobell said, The Shawnee News-Star reported.

Cobell was in Oklahoma this week to talk with account holders about the IIM lawsuit. She met with members of the Quapaw, Miami, Shawnee, Osage and other tribes.
