It’s difficult to paint an entire county with such a racist brush, because it is far more likely that only a few residents feel any discriminatory feelings toward the ancient tribe they share their land with. Maybe, in fact, just a resident or two who happen to be on the county commission or active in politics.
This week the county commission accused Democrat and Navajo candidate Willie Grayeyes of not being a Utah resident. The county claims that because Grayeyes is not a resident, he should be disqualified from running for the county commission.
The commission seats are open after a federal judge redrew the county’s voting districts and called a special election.
