Left to right they are: Greg Adams, John David Nielson, Bruce Adams, Kenneth Maryboy and WIllie Grayeyes. State Rep. Phil Lyman says the court-ordered redistricting that gave the county commission its first Navajo majority disenfranchised voters in Blanding. He's saying the idea of a county split should be debated.
