Politics

Thursday, October 16, 2008

The Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona will hold a special election on November 8 to choose a new chair.

Jeri Johnson DeCola resigned this month after a drinking incident at the tribe's casino. Surveillance video shows her intoxicated, a gaming commissioner said.

"She was with friends. It got to the point where she had too much alcohol," Nathan Campbell, who is DeCola's nephew, told The Rim County Gazette
