Nelson left but ……

He’s still here.  Ya, that’s because Nelson Andrews resigned as Tribal

 

Nelson’s hard work is repairing our horrible image. Meanwhile, we spent over $2.2 m in the last decade on a Mittark we throw away and worthless emails from “PR” that fail to inform or redeem us to outsiders. Paula’s been riding that gravy train “cherp cherpin’ ” away. Lovely Winnona oversees all that effort. Stop laughing Ahem..

Emergency Mangement Director and took a federal job as the FEMA Region I Tribal Liaison that cover 10 eastern tribal nations… That includes the Mashpee Wampanoag.  Andrews has built an impressive national profile as an emergency management “go to” for Indian Country.  Harvard is putting together a Public Health Emergency Preparedness Steering Board for the CDC and he’s been invited to sit on that panel.

His dossier also includes the recent membership to the Mashpee Chamber of Commerce and a Tribal Governing official for the United Southeastern Tribes.

Nelson has brought in well over $15 m to the Tribe in these leadership roles and on the CDC which is expanding our economic development opportunities. No doubt he will help with the transitioning of the EM Department he built that set the standard in Indian Country. He will be based in Mashpee and remain on the Council.

And our Chairman was re-elected to the Mashpee School Committee, he was unopposed. We’re still searching for his initiatives there.  We have learned that he’s not real interested in his post as Vice Chair of National Council of American Indians.  Officials say he has been absent from the last two meetings.  And the meetings were on Zoom. We have no legislation, money raised, casino financing or even grant initiatives brought forward by the Child King. Talk about leadership… He files frivolous lawsuits against council members and misinforms others to get their votes. He’s an excellent whinner though…excellent. That’s a Child King for ya.

Desperation is like stealing from the Mafia: you stand a good chance of attracting the wrong attention 

The nightmare returns……Minnie Winnie

Well, we have the best leadership talent in the Tribe leaving their posts to take lucrative jobs. Rita Gonsalves

Rebekah has been milking the Tribe for a long time. Mark Tilden left her in charge of the machinery.

or one headed to California to do consulting work for a tribe out there and so she resigned a couple of days ago.  Well, the Child King, in frantic mode decided to call a meeting to replace Rita right away. So his loyal lawyer Rebeka Salguero (who has been on our payroll for $20K a month for 13 years –$3.120 million- for work a law clerk could do) says you have to take the person who came in second. Little discussion.

That would be Winnie.

But here’s the rub. Council members were missing. The Chief and Medicine Man were missing, 2 Council members were missing. Council members were misinformed about holding special election verses moving Winnie into the slot as Rebeka recommended. It was a move CK made while he had the votes and it was the recommendation made by Rebeka….the Child King’s lady in waiting.

Council members were stunned by the rush to vote within a day of the resignation when they could have waited 30 days. So you know what’s happening here.  The Child King is making a mad dash to run the table to hold on to power.

Child King and Winnie are tight.  What do you think is going to happen with her return? The thought is nauseating.  The unpopularity of these two would be a challenge for Christ the King (God Bless).

Council members phones are exploding with livid Tribal members angry about Winnie’s return. She couldn’t win an election if you allowed the red box people to vote.

So….the Child King is filing frivolous charges against people instead of finding a TA, a replacement for Marita Scott in HR and cleaning up finance. Certain expenditures are very very questionable.

No budget, no audits.  Bad Comptroller, and you have a chairman pontificating at “clan mother” ‘meetings justifying adopting competition dancing categories as justification for clan mothers,

Nonsense

More titillating to come
