Sault Ste. Marie, Mi...If Chairman McCoy throws another roadblock in front of tribal members exercising their constitutional rights, he's going to be fired. He told members that they could have only one packet of petitions and that it had to be stamped with a raised seal.
Come to find out the chairman was wrong. He was pulling a fast one on the membership and breaking the law doing it...if that means anything to him...while limiting the number of petitions available to them for a referendum on whether to go forward with the new Romulus casino...
...otherwise known as the new Greek Deal, or the Greek Giveaway.
The chairman's action has all the earmarks of obstructing the membership's right of referendum. The raised seal prevented them from emailing the petitions to friends and family, relatives and fellow tribal members...to be signed and returned. They would have had to be sent by mail. What's more, he wanted the petitioner to be there when the petition was signed. That too would have prevented the petitioner from using his computer to petition for a referendum.
Section twelve of the constitution is clear about it. There's no mention of either of the chairman's rules. He's guilty of manipulating the process for his own political purposes and the election committee should step up and do something about it.
Well, what about it? The election committee isn't going to lift a hand. Either is the board going to. The chairman has fired lots of members for a lot less. Is he even going to explain his wrongdoing and ask the membership for their understanding and forgiveness. Does he even have any remorse at all for perpetrating this dastardly deed? Should he be fired...?
...you darn right he should. The next time you see him, fire him on the spot.
Thank you, Charles Forgrave
I bet we could start a petition to do just that. Lying to the members and violating the constitution by denying us our rights! Why do we have to get petitions from McCoy anyway? Whose tribe is this...his or ours?
