MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2003 Whoever replaces Neal McCaleb as head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs will also be "chewed up and spit out" unless given the freedom to reform the troubled agency, The Sioux Falls Argus Leader says in an editorial. The paper says McCaleb could only go so far in making changes. "The trust fund dispute - while important - is merely one ugly boil on the rear of the Bureau of Indian Affairs," the paper writes. "Fixing that needs to be handled by someone who does nothing else, while the assistant secretary works on reforming the BIA - and serving Native Americans." McCaleb said he resigned the post due to ongoing litigation over the broken system. A replacement has not been named. Get the Story:
