Nowhere in sight !

A lot of confirmation of what everyone in the Tribe knew.  Yvonne Frye Avant resigned from the Gaming Commission. She hasn’t been around much. You may recall that Yvonne had trouble finding specific minutes per the FBI request. The Council replaced her with Council Secretary Cassie Jackson.

The episode at the Housing Commission meeting was a part of the discussion in public comment,  but so was Treasurer Marie Stone. ‘Why is Marie the Human Resources Director? She’s gotta lotta work in finance.  Why isn’t she handling finance?’ That was Kimmie Frye’s question. You could feel all 57 Tribal members on the zoom call lean in. Everyone wanted to know what was Tah Tah Deja vu doing?

As the Council meeting started, the Chairman was constantly looking for the ‘Treasurer” who did not respond when votes were called. She was very busy getting ready for her big reveal. So when she got good and damned ready she announced that the  Human Resources Director had been hired along with a Comptroller who would be on the job in two weeks.  Really? There were Tribal members who applied for those jobs that were on the zoom meeting, but never got a letter saying they had not been hired (let alone interviewed) until that evening.

But to show how determined Tah Tah Dejavu is to keep stalling, she’s bringing the very expensive Rewind Audit Team to the Sunday meeting…..to discuss the audit. The same audit as last time…that ate up 2 hours of the General Meeting.  Councilman Aaron Toby wasn’t having any of that.  ” Why the audit at this point? ” he said that it was obviously irrelevant.  So her plan to bore people to tears with the same audit report was cut short. They have 30 minutes.

Here’s the thing. We all know she has NO BUDGET to present. And six months of torture is enough.

Tribal members have a lot on their minds and Sunday is their time to have that dialogue. The Elders for one has serious issues to hash out.The budget allows the government to move forward.  It’s outrageous that one person is holding up progress and $15 million. We have the chance to jump-start and establish our economy. We need a budget to legally move forward.

We talk about a lot on this .com. Stuff that’s uncomfortable.  But if we told you everything we knew….you would lose your mind.
