Sault Ste. Marie, Mi...You have to read director Hollowell's unit report with some trepidation. She lauds what the previously elected term did for balancing the budget. While it's nice to see others praised, in this case we really have to question whether they warrant it.
The previously elected term which Ms. Hollowell refers to, balanced the budget with the help of a $5,000,000.00 loan from a local bank. They used the elders fund as collateral, after the board refused to accept tribal land. They did both of these things without so much as reporting them to the membership.
Moreover, director Bouschor went so far as to boast in his unit report about their success in balancing the budget. He even went so far as to mention it twice...not once...that the board was looking ahead to a possible $5,000,000.00 surplus.
What is very disturbing about this, where our previously elected term is concerned, is that not one of them stepped forward to correct the picture that Mr. Bouschor was putting forth. In good old fashion terms, this is referred to as complicity.
So where is director Hollowell coming from...is she attempting to shore up the board's claims to fiscal responsibility? Perhaps the director needs to review the position that she has taken on this matter? The members need directors who are more interested in the truth about events rather than the politics that surround them.
Thank you, Charles Forgrave

Frankly I saw little difference between Director Holloway's report and Director Malloy's. Neither stated anything of substance. Nor did either one of them note any progress on implementing their platform. And please do not start with the give them more time. If they need more time then they should not be collecting their big paychecks. I think inertia has already set in for both of them.
