RECALL
Chairman McCoy

If there are witnesses to the Sault Tribe chairman limiting access to the petition forms and or stating "new rules" for qualified petitions, then the citizens have the opportunity that they have been looking for to recall the less than capable and highly influenced chairman.
He has demonstrated that tribal government is "behind closed doors", with a make it up as we go approach.
Under his leadership, Bouschor was allowed to enter back into tribal elections despite a binding referendum that prohibits that.
He was the tie breaking vote that entered the tribe into a foolish agreement for their "last chance" at a casino.
He has embarrassed the tribe with the strongly suggested rumors of his illicit affair with a Board Director.
It is thought that he was involved in an assault case early on in his term.
This guy is a buffoon that was elected by the core family votes to do Bouschor's bidding.
He has certainly done that. His term has been a total failure and waste of time for the Sault Tribe.
Now, it appears that he wants to limit the rights of the citizens.
It has been reported that he wants to create new rules that would seriously cripple the petitioner's efforts to exercise their rights under the constitution.
He wants to place new requirements that would cause a lengthy process to gather petition signatures.
He does not have that authority.

He has over stepped his bounds and has given the petitioner cause to start a recall.
