Once again the members have spoken....NO DEAL, NO SETTLEMENT for Bernard Bouschor. Deb Pine, daughter of Jolene Nertoli and relative of Bouschor's was not allowed to vote because of the obvious conflict of interest. Denise Chase made the motion but the remaining details regarding who voted pro-tribal members or pro-Bouschor is unavailable at this time.
Also today, according to the former chairman Aaron Payment, Deb Pine attempted to contact his boss....why? Surely Pine would not be attempting to use her power as a board member to influence or conspire with an employer against a tribal member? This sounds all too familiar to me and to others who have been at the whim of an errant director who wields their power like a billy club. The days of intimidating tribal members by threatening them with their jobs are over. Conspiracy is a felony and cause for removal.
If the message isn't clear that the tribal members are not going to take it anymore, we are only just getting started.

Is it any surprise that Pine would continue the thugary practices that her family and idols engaged in for so many years ? She is a spoiled immature sorry excuse of a Board member.
We have some very scary individuals on the BOD. Deb Pine is one, Cathy A. is another. Their families have profited greatly by being part of the 'in-crowd', and, these individuals do not seem to have any idea of 'conflict of interest'. Cathy A. routinely votes on matters that impact her husband. In fact, even though he is non Tribal didn't the tribe pay for him to go to graduate school ? And then give him a job ? Didn't her kids then get internships and jobs with the Tribe ? It would be interesting to see just how much money has gone to her family since she was elected. I fear that we can expect pretty much the same from Pine.
How can a judge get arrested and be in the newspaper and still be a judge. Isnt that the case with Laurie Jump, she just made the district court section of the evening news for dog laws which is a crime.
Why don’t the SSMT have a law in regards to this?
Conflict of interest
NEPOTISM PERTAINING TO SERVICE ON BOARDS AND COMMITTEES
Members of an immediate family defined as: spouse, son, daughter, father, mother, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew and the following in-laws: son, daughter, brother, sister, mother and father shall not serve together on the same Sault Tribe Board or committee.
What exactly have you done for your tribe?
I see Deb Pine, not just at the pow wows but running them for our community.
Sorry her mom worked hard and brought housing to tribal members and was fired by Bouschor.
Can't pick your relatives.
Hell, isn't she related to that idiot Payment who ran us into the ground?!!! I have family members that lost their jobs due to his crappy leadership.......she can't help that she's related to that arse!!
She actually gives something back that we can all enjoy at least once a year! Where are you clowns?
All I see is yous guys tearing sh!t up!!
GET A LIFE......BETTER YET, GET A TRIBAL LIFE AND CONTRIBUTE!!!
