Letter: Adakai must be replaced
(Francisco Kjolseth | Tribune file photo)
James Adakai, Oljato Chapter President and BEITC Commissioner, joins Native American community leaders who traveled to Salt Lake City to explain why Native Americans in San Juan County are fighting to preserve Bears Ears National Monument during a panel discussion at the University of Utah on Thursday, June 22, 2017.
I have read the recent article on James Adakai. I love it.
I’m sick and tired of him stuck as one of the Oljato chapter administrators. I want him replaced. Adakai and the Oljato chapter office workers never really advertise for the upcoming election.
At all costs, please fire him. He never helps registered voters who live on the north side of Train Rock, Utah. We don't have running water, internet, ground line phone, and the dirt road needs major maintenance. My vehicles keep breaking down and it delays my water hauling for my livestock: cows, horses, sheep and a donkey. I haul water twice a day from 20 miles away.
Adakai must be replaced. He’s gotten too comfortable holding his position as one of the Oljato chapter officials.
