A word about “Mr. De Facto”

Cedric hands the baton to Mr. De Facto.

The  Tribe is winning  the recall battle. Signatures were certified to call an election to

Treasurer Gordon Harris is up to be recalled, but the stall is on so he can keep getting a check.

remove Chairman Cedric Cromwell and yesterday Treasure Gordon Harris.  Now, the question is when? Both men, who have caused tremendous harm to our people, are still on the payroll and for all practical purposes never show up or hit a lick of work. Another scandalous move to squeeze every dime out of a tribe where they were never accepted. Stalling to keep stealing is what it’s called. We need an election date before we have to vote on toliet paper, cause it won’t matter in a month when the money is gone.  But when the investigations of this government begin it will verify the misfeasance and malfeasance.

Jessie is in the so called Tribal Court defending her return to the council after she resigned in writing.  Okay she blatantly violated the constitution ( what’s new).  But the problem is she’s using tribal lawyers paid $20K a month to defend her wrongdoing against the Tribe.

Jessie and her sidekick Mr. De Facto spin nonsense and do Cedric’s dirty work.

And Jessie, who refuses to honor tribal law, has once again inserted herself in the hiring process for the Human Resources job by ignoring the decision of the committee evaluating applicants.  Guess what? Tah Tah got the job.  How about, Tah Tah’s the roommate of “Mr. De Facto” that would be the all knowing youngster formally known as Peter Pan, Brian Weeden.  How about the committee made clear that she was not their choice.  Nor was she voted on by the Council.  She was the choice of Mr. De Facto, and Messy Jessie. Why do we need a HR director with less than a 1/4 of the Fryeball Council  employees on the payroll? See, this is rouge government at the end of the line.

We digress.  The Tribe has clearly hit bottom because Mr. De Facto is in charge of Tribal operations.  Yes, what you heard is true.  How the hell did that happen? Anyone close to having the credentials would not accept that responsibility even in the Tribe’s clear state of decline.Yes people…that’s where we are…in that old fertilizer pit that used to be in your grand parents back yard.

Word is that “Mr. De Facto” is running things for Cedric Cromwell and plans to run for tribal chairman. Hummmmmmmmmmm. Mr.De Facto was the top vote-getter in his election.  He let it go to his head.  He thinks all these people will vote for him again. Maybe.  But Maybe not. Being a chairman of a tribe brings scrutiny.  Scrutiny from the feds of you and everyone around you, the state too and you really have to know what you’re doing.  Also, tribal members are authorized to pretty much talk to you any kinda way. And, if you’re not from that kinda leadership legacy, you have no idea of how cruel tribal members can be. But right now he is the chairman…” Mr. De Facto.”  Take a good look at Cedric. He’s got that beat down look. That could be you.

So at the Sunday meeting Cedric discussed an internal audit of the Gaming Commission. Oh Happy Day.  Who in the hell will believe that?  Others are probably going to have a look that will probably be a lot more thoughrough.

So showing their true lack of discernable decency or tribal protocol, Carlton Hendricks Jr., had to force Cedric Cromwell to acknowledge the passing of his father-in-law George BIngham, III during the Sunday meeting.  Now, this was after the Council failed to recognize his death after 2 meetings. There was the  moment of silence Sunday. But our time on this earth should be honored.  Bingham was a paratrooper and a veteran of the Viet Nam war. He was a tribal member who was present when his tribe needed him and his passing on to the Creators place should have been acknowledged.  But it was recognition that was forced.  It was part of a pattern that has gone on since Cedric Cromwell has been chairman.  Elders Paul Mills, Dwight Peters, Richard Oakley and Leigh Potter deaths were never properly mourned by the Tribal government.  Now, we know those in the Tribe who  hold a life long family grudge. They’re out there ridged in their disdain.  But the government should be neutral and steadfast in recognizing the valuable place our members held on this earth.
