Here's how Dem's make government policy: Gaming the System Two Clinton administration officials at the Bureau of Indian Affairs who overruled the advice of their professional staff and granted federal recognition to Indian tribes in the closing days of the Clinton administration have since gone to work for Indian interests in the private sector, the Boston Globe reports. Former BIA chief Kevin Gover quit three weeks before the end of Clinton's term, after overruling his staff and giving final recognition to the Chinook tribe of Washington state, the Boston Globe says. Gover "stepped directly from his government position to a lucrative job as a lobbyist-lawyer representing Indian gaming tribes with the Washington firm Steptoe & Johnson. One of the tribes he recently solicited for business was the Chinook." Michael J. Anderson, who became the bureau's acting chief when Gover departed, "gave final recognition to the Duwamish tribe of Washington state and preliminary recognition to the Nipmuc tribe of Massachusetts on Jan. 19, his last day in office," the Globe reports. Anderson now works for the firm Monteau, Peebles & Crowell, which represents Indian gambling tribes, the Globe says. opinionjournal.com
