Legislation allowing a Grand Canyon tramway and other tourism development at the confluence of the Colorado and Little Colorado rivers received a clear message of disapproval during its first committee hearing before Navajo Nation lawmakers on Monday.
The five-member Law and Order Committee unanimously opposed the Grand Canyon Escalade legislation during a hearing at Twin Arrows Casino Resort. Members said voting for the project would be a gamble, would require money that should be used elsewhere and didn’t have the support of the tribe’s economic development division, justice department or historic preservation office advisors.
