CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE

The recent million dollar return on an investment for non-tolerance of corrupt behavior by the former chairman, Bernard Bouschor, was due to the integrity of attorney Todd Gravelle.

It was Todd Gravelle, who on the day following the scamming of the Sault Tribe during an emergency meeting, made the motion to file a lawsuit against Miller, Canfield & Stone for their part in the 7+2 payout.

It was also Todd Gravelle who recommended that Bill Horton represent the tribe in this case as well as the infamous 7+2. William Horton is a managing partner with Giarmarco, Mullins & Horton, PC located in Troy, MI.

It was Todd Gravelle who recommended the restraining order that prevented Bernard Bouschor from firing more employees, beyond those who were part of his scheme to defraud the tribe, prior to what we hoped was Bouschor's final departure.

Without the legal input of Todd Gravelle, the Land Claims fund would not be the recipient of a million dollar settlement so lets not displace credit onto those incumbents on the current board who would have done nothing to get back funds that belonged to tribal citizens.

Don't make the mistake of retaining or voting for those who will support actions against tribal citizens but who will vote in favor of the likes of Bernard Bouschor and remember those who represented the tribes best interests as well as those who will in the future.
