WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 2003 Some candidates in a recent primary election say their incumbents received an unfair endorsement by a tribal financial advisor, The Deseret News reports. The adviser, John Jurrius, was allowed to address tribal members before a candidates' forum, and he talked about expanding $1,500 per capita payments to elders. Candidates who oppose the expansion felt the discussion unfairly boosted the incumbents. The general election will go ahead as planned April 28. Get the Story:
