Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow

An Anonymous Writer asked that I post this......

On February 14th, Fred Paquin, suspended police chief / suspended CEO of Greektown / unit 1 director, will make his appearance in court to face assault charges for allegedly beating a tribal woman and employee for refusing his sexual advances.

Fred Paquin has a history of allegedly assaulting women, but, has remained on the board of directors and is still being paid as tribal chief of police.Controversy started to swell over the reaction of some board members when they learned of the charges. Some were quoted to suggest that "She deserved it" Paquin, himself, later suggested that she would have been better off if she had just kept her mouth shut.

He used his Board Note column to admit that it was an error in judgment but that he was the real victim. He wasn't able to accept responsibility for his brutal behavior, that evening. Instead, he turned the tables, in his column and described what he believed to be the truth about his relationship with the victim. He seemed to suggest that people won't remember his transgressions but, she will now be forever remembered for her adulteress behavior. If that isn't SPIN.....I don't know what is.Fred Paquin is unwilling to take responsibility for his behavior but, maybe this judge will insist on it.

It is possible that Fred Paquin will loose his chief of police position along with his board seat if found guilty.That is most likely what is behind this recent motion to saddle the chairman with an 81,000 dollar charge for changing the employee picnic back to the traditional weekday instead of the prohibitive weekend. Paquin believes that this would have all been swept under the rug if Payment wasn't such an employee advocate.
