Money is low, desperation grows

Signs signs everywhere signs

The recall effort really rattled Cedric Cromwell and Je$$ie Baird. And they confirmed it, because as soon as Aaron Tobey got the signs up all over town, Cedric was rushing to take them down. Such a dumb move.  We had reporters providing  photos immediately. The most important one was of the signs on Norman Dias’s property. When Norman puts a sign like that up, it’s serious.  Quite frankly, he’s a very good barometer of tribal sentiment.  After tribal members blocked  the  attempt to remove Carlton Hendricks, Jr. the council has hedged on making any more hostile moves against adversaries.

Meanwhile, the petitions for recall have gone  to the election committee for review and a decision on the next step.  Well, the committe is made up of Rita Lopez ( enrollment director & interimm tribal administrator ) and the Deaconess (Cedrics executive assistant…ahem), Elsie Pocknett and Ann Marie Askew. Well, Council woman Anne Marie is not supposed to be on the election committee for obvious reasons.  She’s a council member and you can’t have the possibility of impropriety or conflict of interest. Or why change things now? Of course there is supposed to be 5 members on the committee. Only 2 are reasonable, the other two would have to come off…. 3 added total.

Chew  on that for a minute.

In case you didn’t know….there’s a RECALL going on!

You know, there comes a time when you just have to walk away. That’s if you have good sense.

We had to post the signs that say it all.  The efforts to recall Cedric Cromwell and Je$$ie Baird were boldly placed in front of a tribal landmark, Norman Dias’s farm stand.  That says it all.  So the process of getting to the recall election has begun because more than enough signatures have been gathered for both the Chairman and Vice Chairman.  Course you know they will try to thwart it but let’s see if they really want to push that envelope. And word is Cedric told the Fye’s some kind of lie to get them back in line.  The Fryes may be ” sleepy ” but they’re not stupid. More after tonights meeting.

You got “enumerated powers” alright

Apparently we’re not the only tribe with a council drunk with power, but I’ll betcha none of them have a half-billion dollar debt and nothing to show for it. That puts us at the top of the “Worst of the Worst” list, no doubt. Jesus.

So Brian Weeden was talking and of course everyone was laughing. He just can’t stop runnin’ his mouth. Wah, wah, wah. Because  he gets a new talking point from the embattled tribal chairman Cedric Cromwell and he pontificates like he’s some constitutional guru. Well he would be correct about  enumerated powers if Cedric and paid council members followed any kind of law.  But they don’t.  They just do anything they want to do, and now its all disintegrating.

We were trying to keep from dumping more bad news on you but they just can’t stop shoveling it at us…from the congressional  misinformation to statutes as the lights dim on our future.

We’ll get at it tomorrow.
