And do you think I will feel sorry? Heck No !!! How can the native people stand proud when there are (so called) leaders doing these things? My tribal council is so out of control and most of our members can't do a thing about them. I don't think Great Creator is happy. Time and greed will stop these criminals, they think they have all the answers and boy are they wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-72904665975450712552014-02-25T13:54:51.926-05:002014-02-25T13:54:51.926-05:00I wish they would, please expose all the frauds fo...I wish they would, please expose all the frauds for what they are!!!!!! I'd love more than anything to see prison sentences for all who have done wrong and stolen money, no matter which faction you come from! If you did or do wrong you should be punished. End of story.

Do they know that the Banks that financed the casino can take control of the Casino and refuse to pay any tribal member anything until the bank loans of over $300 million are repaid? The IRS and the tribe’s loan underwriter bank are sure to send in a horde of auditors, including the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, into the casino, the tribe, and audit the personal tax returns of anyone even remotely connected with it?

Unfortunately there is no separation as of now. The tribe council also calls its self "ceda" which is supposed to run the gaming side. Same exact people. They decide what they make who they pay and then sign their own checks. Embezzlement Is their goal, and that goes for all past councils. That's the way they want to keep it. If Reggie has his way, all employees will be fired. The government buildings will be leveled and he will continue his dictatorship. He has placed himself on council for how many years now???? The only reason he is or was trying to work with Morris is because it no longer fit his wallet to keep them pushed out. He will just go back and re-kick them out. His plan all along. Careful Morris supporters, don't think your safe just yet.

All tribes should be working to make sure their constitutions provide for separation of powers and checks and balances of power. <br /><br />Also for gaming tribes there must be an external independent audit of financial reports performed on a regular basis and an oversight committee with the power to enforce compliance with tribal law, especially as regards distribution of revenue. <br /><br />It only benefits those who seek to embezzle funds for tribes to trust the honesty of elected officers. Tribal officers should be reviewed just like any employee, and the funds must be verified to prevent internal theft. <br /><br />These aspects of tribal government need to be put in place, and the BIA should withhold approval of any constitution that has no provision to ensure the honesty and integrity of tribal officers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-84751496689633422762014-02-24T15:38:22.705-05:002014-02-24T15:38:22.705-05:00The chukchansi as well as other tribes need to fas...The chukchansi as well as other tribes need to fashion a checks and balance for the governments. The U.S. Government learned from Iroquois nation, time foe the rest of the natives to follow suit. We need a legislative (council), judicial, and executive..... Which would limit the power of any council, no longer could they make up the rules to fit them as they see fit for the moment.
