Sault Ste. Marie, Mi...Meanwhile..in Detroit, Michigan..gaming board hearings are underway..with director Bernard Bouchour of the Sault Tribe standing front and center.
All of the Tribe's directors go through this licensing process..by the Michigan Gaming Commission Board. They need to be licensed by it, in order for the Greektown Casino to be licensed by it. And..if they don't get licensed by it..well, Greektown Casino, itself, would likely lose its license..by it.
And..it seems..the gaming board has discovered how spokespersons' Jake M. of the Greektown Management Board is a former vendor of the Sault Tribe, who had a previous relationship with then Chairman of the Sault Tribe, Bernard Bouchour, wherein he acted as a consultant to the Romulus Project, and, wherein, also, he made an illegal campaign contribution of $ 1000.00 dollars to the former chairman's' 2004 campaign..this relationship has put the licensing of both of these individuals at risk.
But..here's the clencher..Frank Ettawageshik, chairman of the Odawa's of Petoskey, Michigan, has testified to how Bouchour..asked for money from his tribe: it seems he was told if he didn't give him ( the Sault Tribes' former chairman, Bernard Bouchour ) a percentage of the revenue from their casino once opened, they would never get recognition.
What's the big word we need, here, to describe this kind of activity..is it extortion?
Asked if the money being asked for was meant for the former chairman of the Sault Tribe, personally, or, for the Sault Tribe, itself, the Odawa chairman chairman, Frank Ettawageshik, replied.." I don't know. "
And..if the Sault Tribe's Board does nothing and sits on its hand..and lets the Greektowns' spokesperson, Jake M. and the Sault Tribes' director, Bernard B...be refused a license by the gaming board..what will likely happen? Answer..the gaming board will likely pull the Greektown Casinos' license, itself.
As..the gaming board has also discovered how Mike McCoy, the tribes' state legislative liaison, brother to director Cathy Abramson, was the individual who set up the meetings and was also present at them..indicating to the gaming board how at least one member of the Sault Tribe's Board was aware of what was going on...
Thank you, Charles Forgrave

When I ran for the board, I had to qualify for a gaming license in
order to continue my candidacy...or so they told me. Why then, is
Bouschor still waiting for his gaming license? Why did the Election
Chairman and committee place Greektown in jeopardy if Bouschor's
qualifications have not been resolved? Enlighten me, please.

The rules are different for Bouschor.
You were a victim of the loyal Bouschor administrative staff that has been in place for decades and who can bluff anyone anyone about the rules. Because it is their rules.
Joan Carr is the biggest offender
