"It looks like the race for the Sault Tribe officer positions (Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer), to be voted on next Tuesday - July 13th at 6pm, is heating up and could result in a tie vote. If a tie occurs, the Tribal Chairperson will cast the tie breaking vote.
The Tribal Chairman should consider that if he has any conflicts of interests in his personal relationships with any Board members, that he should abstain from voting in the event of a tie. If the Chairman is unwilling to do the right thing by the people of the Tribe, the Tribal Board should make a motion and second to call into conflict any votes for officers nominations for which the Chairman has a personal relationship. The Tribal Board should call this conflict before the vote. Of course, those officer nominees with a conflict of interest could spare the Tribe further embarrassment by declining the nomination as most Members know of this conflict.
Close personal relationships of a non-professional nature, have no place in public governance. Sault Tribe members deserve a higher caliber of personal and professional conduct from their elected officials. Carrying on a personal private relationship that threatens to cloud decision making is un-ethical and depending on the relationship - even immoral."
