NIGC Understaffed . . . Again

Feb 17 2010
The National Indian Gaming Commission is once again understaffed, with only two members -- and one of those an interim Chair.  Commissioner Norm DesRosiers' three-year term has ended, leaving the NIGC with interim Chair George Skibine and brand-new Commissioner Steffani Cochran.

With the exception of the few weeks that DesRosiers and Cochran overlapped, this once again leaves the NIGC with only two of the three commissioner positions filled -- a situation that has become par for the course, as one commissioner position has been open for more than two years.
