Remember all those Sault Tribe directors who defended the actions
of Fred Paquin, the fallen police chief who is now beseiged with
a mountain of legal problems? When the Grand Jury makes one or
more decisions on what to charge Paquin with (my guess is 'more'),
will those directors who covered up for him apologize to the tribal
members and the Sault Tribe Police Department?
Not likely since that would be an admission of a horrible mistake
and the worst case of judgement they have ever been guilty of.
To admit another failure would certainly make them look much worse
then they already do in the eyes of the tribal members, if
it is possible to look any worse then they do now.
If they were capable of admitting yet another huge mistake, they
would have taken a paycut when their continuous bad decisions led
this tribe into financial ruin. While we can't hold newly elected
directors (well at least one of them) responsible, the rest should
have offered to do the job for free, or even better, offered to
step down.
If and when the charges are laid out against Paquin, there are many
tribal members ready to remind everyone the names of those directors
who defended Paquin to the point that they actually seemed to be
covering for him. Maybe Paquin will make it easy for them by providing
FBI investigators with information as to why those directors worked
so hard to save his corrupt self from exposure.
In the meantime, the tribal members are buzzing with excitement. Could
it be true? Will Paquin finally be held accountable for his crimes
that have been reported by so many? It's about time this tribe had
something to celebrate and Paquin's arrest could be just the ticket.
All we can do is hope and pray that justice will be finally served.
