CANDIDATE PINE

Sault Ste. Marie, Mi...Candidate Pine supports the unauthorized payout of $2,600.000.00 of public money. The victims here are the tribal citizens themselves...losing potentially millions of dollars in medical and dental and optical services. What's most deplorable, is the $2,600,000.00 is fully recoverable. To date, three courts have ruled in the tribe's favor.

Candidate Pine says in her public profile she's been employed with the tribe for fifteen years. She goes on to say how she and her husband own Chippewa Animal Clinic and Willoby's Restaurant and Motel in Brimley. And besides, she's the proud mother of two children. Wonderful...but is this the individual you want to pay $5585.00 a month to attend a few meetings for you? Will candidate Pine have time to do anything more than that...very likely not.

You have to love a candidate, though, who supports the core values and traditions of the tribal community...as does Candidate Pine. However, one has to ask where she learned them... in a Christian Church? While that may be all well and fine, isn't there some confusion here...are the core values and the traditions of the Native Community really the same as thoughs of the Christian faith?

You also have to love a candidate who loves and supports children...after all how can you not. But this candidate's assertion begs the question...why isn't she active in advocating for these precious young individuals? Very likely the answer is simply that...she hasn't had the time to do it.

What are your thoughts?

Thank you, Charles Forgrave
