Reel Wamps

We have to remind people that misfeasance and malfeasance are preeminent in the tribal government.  Reel Wamps was astounded that the Cromwell Administration is struggling to finance this casino and is trying to beg, bond and borrow money to do it, which is unheard of.  Genting is not going foot the bill for everything.  Just the salaries of this corrupt government.

You realize that these people keep paying themselves huge salaries and deliver no tangible services to the tribe, which is very suspicious and is at the top of

“misfeasance/malfeasance” criteria.  Believe it or not, you cannot get paid and fail to provide service to constituents. Not even in a so called nation within a nation without the completion of LIT. Also our tribal government takes federal funds and blatantly misappropriates money to family members. Moreover they hire people who are do not meet job descriptions, lie about their college education, have been fired from WIA and rehired making $87,000 in salary and benefits.  Right.  Then the person who replaced that one at WIA has a full time assistant and between the two of them make $116,000 a year to manage a $40,000 WIA grant.

More ridiculous is that as the tribe gets closer to the $250 m cap, borrowing up a storm.. they still cannot afford to pay the $60 m owed to the old investors who helped with recognition. That’s a very critical part of the Compact with the state of Massachusetts because they have to pay it or cannot get the license.

The more absurd deal is the fact that Cedric has paid $56m for 150 acres of patchwork land in Majestic Taunton. $10M of it is not deductible or refundable and was paid TO HOLD LAND YOU CANNOT GIVE AWAY! Smells funky to us…very funky indeed. Get the air freshener.

Cedric and his brain trust could have saved $50m and bought the 536 contiguous acres in Middleboro for $6m which is home to one of our ancient villages and truly our homeland.  We still don’t know what our historic ties to Taunton are…we do know that our people were not that far north…but you know what happens when you’re overpaying for stuff don’t you?

There’s another red flag flying over the proposal submitted to  the National Indian Gaming Commission. It lacks a tribal economic development plan.  The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act requires that gaming tribes have an economic development plan as the backup to ensure sustainability. Casinos don’t last long and it makes sense. They had to resubmit the plan for finance problems.  Now its just siting there.  We are one of the few tribes

with a homeland that has historic sites, fishing and hunting and a vigorous  tourist trade that can provide us a good quality of life. Cedric never cared about our future, just kept taking the checks, imitating Indians and embarrassing us in Indian Country.
