"After much consideration I am resigning from the Vermont Commission On Native American Affairs. I believe that in it's current configuration the Commission is doomed to failure.
There are too many personal agenda's, power plays, lack of respect for each other and antagonism toward native community leaders by some members to achieve anything meaningful.
It is unfortunate that the opportunity to help Native Americans in Vermont is being wasted.
I will be sending my letter of resignation to the Governor.
Don's resignation was not to the benefit of the commission, quite the contrary, For what it's worth I believe Charlie would be the best choice for Chairman. Good Luck." ( Paul Bell)
