Sault Ste. Marie, Mi...The McCoy Administration had two years to put together a bankruptcy reorganization plan and failed to do so. With no plan to emerge from bankruptcy, it never had a credible chance to retain the Detroit Casino.
Instead, it made last minute gasps, hoping to retain the casino on technicalities. However, both of them fell through. More bungling by the McCoy Administration. It appears Greektown was built on land that never was put in trust and therefore could be sold to non-Indian gaming interest. Neither did the Michigan Gaming Control Board give any credence to the tribe's ballyhoo about the short time it took to license the new owners.
We're left now with a Chairman who has been stripped of his executive powers and is little more than a gavel, and a Vice Chairman who has no credentials to do either job. The tribe is mired in debt up to its ears, akin to the country's national debt and no one seems to understand what is going on...
With a weak leader who is powerless to represent the tribe as a whole, we're left with a committee of unit representatives who are busy running errands for their constituents. The ship of state has been left to flounder...without direction and without leadership.
Thank you, Charles Forgrave
