In response to a Soo Evening News article regarding the upcoming appointment of a replacement chairperson for the Sault Tribe, a reader wrote this and also sent it to me.
Former Chairman Aaron Payment would be a good choice. After all, the difference in votes for chairman were only a few suspicious hundred in McCoy's favor.
But I do have a sneaking suspicion that Benard would like to return as chairman...that would show all of those voters that dethroned, him for Aaron Payment,.that he still has the power. The Tonky Trump ego will have made full circle from shame to fame. A smarter move for Benard would be to wait for the appointment of his buddy and then take the CEO position that is vacant. Then, he is really back.
Native American Scholar, Martin Rhinehardt has stated that he will campaign against any Board member that prohibits the citizens from deciding who will fill the chairman's seat. You won't hear these politicians Causley, Abramson , McCoy, Pine or Bouschor play the race card and dispute that man.
It is sad to watch how a handful of the tribe's worst can dictate to the membership....over and over and over again.
Hopefully, this next election will be when the membership votes for a new path. The need to bring in the constitution that the present Board wants to ignore. It would make them accountable. That scares them.

I keep reading how an election is going to "scare" the bod. Now how is it possible for them to be scared when they control the election committee. Have we not seen and posted about all the manipulation and dirty tricks that go on in an election. So what about that would scare them? They certainly are not ging to manipulate in our favor now are they? The only way to rid ourselves of this bunch is to kick them out...literally. I am sure they would not go quietly into the night but why should we care any more about that than they do about our ballots? As I have said before I have no faith in the election process in this tribe.
One more thing. I still have not gotten an answer to my question,will the former chair be required to pay back the 60,000 he helped himself to? I also heard that Lana helped to sweep under some rug that one of her relatives managed to rip off the mid jim in St. Ignace for a fair amount of dough.Are these people never going to be held accountable for anything? I have never heard of so much stealing going on in one organization,except maybe the federal gov't.Not saying it dosen't happen but for crying out loud people we KNOW this crap is going on.Time to rise up and take control of what is ours!
I completely agree with you. We are going to have to take back our tribe. The election only works as they allow it to. They allowed DJ Malloy to win because they knew the good guys would still be outnumbered.
