Third District Supervisor Jeff Stone is calling for a change in leadership for the Soboba Band and he suggested that there could be a repeat of the recent violence at the reservation if that does not take place.
Stone, whose district includes the reservation, made his remarks at a meeting of about 150 residents, but no tribal members, according The Press-Enterprise.
“This pressure pot has been simmering for a long time,” Stone said. He suggested that part of the problem was tribal leadership, which he said needs to be more sophisticated in the way it does its job.
Stone is running for re-election on Tuesday.
