Utes thriving after nearly going broke

I think what John Jurrius has done for the Ute Indian Tribe in Utah is AWESOME!!! I am glad that John has brought in millions of dollars to the Utes! His goal was to obviously help the indian people get on their feet, and he succeeded! But the job is not over......Unfoftunately right now, there is a defiant, unwilling Tribal Council in there now, who absolutely refuse to listen to John Jurrius and his successful ways. The Present Council has released John Jurrius on "his intent to resign", and the Ute Council are hiring a new Financial Advisor. So, who I ask you is going to suffer from the change of plans? The Ute Indian people are!! They became so dependant on the money that was coming to them thru their dividends, but now since the successor of the Financial Plan is not allowed back to the Ute Indian Tribe. There is only one thing I have to say is "get over yourself!" Present Council ! Think about your people!! They depend on that money!! Put aside the jealousies that you have for John Jurrius!! Yes, Jurrius is successful, and a Millionaire! That should encourage you to use his knowledge!!
