Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye has exercised his line-item veto by striking 31 items from the 2019 Navajo Nation’s $767 million operating budget.

Buu Nygren, vice president pick for Joe Shirley Jr., has never felt like he wasn’t Navajo.

Myron Lizer is not who the Navajo Nation expected Jonathan Nez to pick as a running mate.

The 23rd Navajo Nation Council has unanimously adopted the $767 million fiscal 2019 budget.

For nearly 30 years the salary for the Navajo Nation president has been set at $55,000 and for the vice president at $45,000.
