Today’s status hearing was canceled because of the Election Committee appeal. It’s up to Supreme Court Judge Robert Mills now. Hopefully he will make a decision soon to either dismiss the appeal or hear it . Which ever, the election will likely be delayed because of simple logistics.
Normally, a supervisor of elections (our election committee chair) would delay any action regarding the election until the legal challenges concluded. Not Francie. They go ahead and send out mail in ballots to members without knowing what the court would do. She presumes the court would rule for the committee ( which it didn’t) and sends members the ballot to return by mail. We’re not going to get into the mess this creates.
Meanwhile members are receiving mail in ballots and it’s resulting in chaos.First, the off reservation people don’t know what’s going on or the people running, so they are asking family members in Mashpee who to vote for.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE CONSTITUTION WAS WRITTEN TO PREVENT.
Those living the Mashpee life should decide its future. The off reservation folks, well if you care, get your ass home to vote.Simple and clear cut.
YOU CAN’T BE RANDOM ABOUT YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE TRIBE.
Someone needs to clue Jessie Baird. She quit for the 3rd time on Feb 14…despite the court advisory opinion that says she had to stay until someone is elected to replace her. Oh ya, the court said to stop asking for advisory opinions like that one when the legal intent was obvious. Just like the unconstitutionality of mail in ballots.
Jessie is so not worthy. She can’t get on the straight and narrow.
Back to Jessie. She’s in she’s out, she’s here she’s there. She has reappeared, called a meeting Thursday because there’s money to be had. Yup another infusion of CARES money to the Tribe. You know Jessie’s got to get hers. What happens with that money should be determined by the incoming administration not members of the corrupt regime that has destroyed us.
