Council officers Brian, Carlton, Cassie and returning councilman David join Marlene Lopez at the meeting house after being sworn in. Same question where’s Marie? same answer “Who knows?”
The Tribal Council has serious issues to address and the ability to band together and move ahead is key.The meeting tonight should tell us who is serious and who wants to stick with grievance foolishness.
We are in a place where a pot luck dinner at the Rod & Gun Club won’t work. We are in that black spot in the middle of the Pond where they dare you to dive.
So….we need a Treasurer who will not get stuff off the internet, cut and paste it to create a memo that concocts plans for hiring freezes and other random policy that has nothing to do with her job as the chief financial officer. She’s already lost. While Marie has always been a distraction on the Council or in jobs she was unable to fill….the work of finding resources is still looming large. We have to look beyond the grants, and provide an economy that to puts our people to work. That’s it.
The Indirect Costs on the grants have been so abused and used for salaries it’s a shame. As you know, that’s the reason the government center payments were 5 months behind.
So anyone who wants to ask Cromwell lobbyists Mark Forrester or Bill Delahunt should not waste their time because those birds delivered nothing….nothing. Millions on those guys and the other law firms who gouged us and failed to deliver a Supreme Court fix or defense of land in trust application.
Now we’re faced with the Town of Taunton complaining about millions of dollars in back payments on the worst land purchase in the history of Indian gaming.
Like we said, pot luck won’t work.
