Reel Wamps

39 people attended the Tribal Budget presentation Saturday. 13 were Tribal employees, 7 were  Cedric and Council members and 19 were Tribal members. The budget passed by a 21 to 18 vote.  No landslide here.Here’s what we know

1. All the (13) staff voted for the $22m budget
2. All but 1 of the (7) Council members  (Carlo) voted for the budget
3. Only 2 Tribal members voted for the budget

If 2 more tribal members attended the meeting and voted against the budget like the vast majority, it would have died on a tie vote.

The budget is a mirage.  If it were real don’t you think the professional staff would stay around to keep getting paid?  They knew Genting was out of this deal very shortly. We’re not using the political acumen we used to be famous for. We had accountable elected officials who protected us. They did not sell us into slavery and make us out to be fools before the whole world.   But then again you literally  have the worst people in the Tribe at the helm.We cannot blame anyone for what’s happening to us.   When we choose to be embarrassed and do nothing but gossip and complain, then we are abused.

You have to do something for something to happen.                          

The legal Tribal insignia has been replaced with this cartoon. Fake and phoney.

The May 28th meeting was an exhausting episode in our tribal story.  The comparisons about the obviously bad decisions made by Cedric and his partners.

THE BIGGEST  _UCK UP

• Dumping Middleboro ( 536 acres for  $6 m, LIT complete, historic ties complete, IGA complete)
• Signing up with Genting at 17% interest ( $55m no member benefits in 4 years)
• Total failure of the Taunton Itty Bitty Casino
• Complete loss of credibility
• Money dries up, professional staff quits.’
• Yvonne becomes tribal administrator (great !)
• You get a $30 a month food card

Well, we promised an update so before we talk about last night, lets go back to the horrendous Tuesday  Council meeting on May 28.That was another anthology to our awful government.

Why doesn't anyone like me anymore?

CeddieLou had great difficulty managing the meeting.  There were quite a few members in attendance. The crowd scared the hell out of CeddieLou. He had half the Mashpee police department inside and out of the meeting. He tried to immediately shut things down and go into Executive Session.  He was worried that people were going to call for his resignation, or he would have to take up one of his cousin’s petitions to remove him from office. Well Carlo told him they had to dispose of old business and take up new, you know Roberts Rules of Order….so basically, Hendricks ran the meeting, while Ceddie pouted in the corner doing the shifty eye.

Well Tah Tah started in and wanted to be on blast to perform for the audience.  She confirmed her skewed view of the world. With great flair she displayed all the copy machine parts that she had taken the week before. She then passed out piles of emails that really made no sense….she cussed Navajo Sue out and pretty much proved nothing but how really foolish she is.  Course CeddieLou asked staff to stand if they felt threatened or intimidated by the infamous Tah Tah.  Only one had the nerve. As usual Cedric’s tactic fall flat against his once dear dear friend.

The Entertainment value was priceless. Bet those cops go out and really tell the world how sophisticated our government is hu? You bet.

There’s more……stay tuned.

Wave goodbye.

• That public relations wizard Brooke Scanell quit today.   She walked after she milked us for about $750 K.  She was behind some 5th grade  media and message campaigns that ultimately made us look like fools and spread misinformation that ended in complete disaster.   You better believe the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe won’t be on her resume.
• Navajo Sue AKA  Drula or Trula Breuninger, put her resignation in for June 7th. Her buddy Navajo Joe dragged her in here about 7 months ago to make a quick buck, around $12k a month. Tah Tah complicated things also. Tah Tah bullied her and insisted on giving  herself the title of Human Resources Director when she was anything but.  Navajo Sue demanded a 2 month severance…..and she’s the one who quit!
• Ron Scott is no longer Housing Director, as we told you.
• That old geezer Leon is back at $60 an hour.He made double that before.

• Marge is retiring from her $80k a year job as finance director.   She says “she don’t know what Mark Harding was doing!”  And Robbie don’t know what she’s doing.

MWT bled dry by overpaid consultants, lawyers and staff

We all know why these people are leaving.  BBO.  Backers Backing Out. The money has dried up.   The latest infusion from Genting is beyond late and probably ain’t coming….but Cedric, TFL, Jessie, Robbie, Tah Tah, Yvonne, and Trish keep taking those checks, and you keep getting those $30 food cards.

The details of the Tuesday meeting are coming up.  Now that’s a mess if ever there was one.

Also…the Tribal Council has been in workshops for two days, at Sea Crest. Today’s the last one. They’re being taught communication skills.  Don’t laugh.  The consultant was selected by Jessie. Now that’s funny.

Now that the Tobey’s are waging war on their cousin CeddieLou, he’s pushing the panic button. It’s a correct action that comes too late.The tribal government is about to collapse.  At least  the sections controlled by the Council.   The unqualified overstaffed,  Fryebal operation is so top heavy, it resembles a cement block sitting atop a blow fish, and you know the rest.

Now we all know that Cedric really doesn’t know much about the Mashpee and even less about his family legacy. Ahem. Let’s be honest, he’s getting a pretty serious dose of Tobey Terror.   What is Tobey Terror?  It is the relentless nonsensical questions, the badgering, bullying, screaming and the insatiable appetite for more of whatever they demand. They’re never satisfied.

But the first phase of Tobey Terror begins when they start running around telling anyone who will listen “We gotta get them outta there.” As soon as they’re out of earshot, the person rolls there eyes saying, ” For God sakes, who the hell is them? Today it’s Cedric, tomorrow it’s Robbie or Laura.”  No family member is safe.

Then they try to revive the programs their cousin CeddieLou has destroyed.   Like they’re doing something constructive.  Trouble is the Pantry ( established by the late Debra Tobey Debarros who was very very well liked) and the Thrift store would be manned by Tobeys only. Won’t get too much traffic there.

So they start trying to get credible tribal members to join them in their screaming sessions at the Council meetings where they stay on the attack.   That fails.   They begin circulating a petition and collaborating with a former candidate.No one trusts them too much. And what will they do with the petition?   Right.

By now,  Cedric is back to the lame radio and TV talk shows using Cedric Spin about the ” we got nothin’ now for real” casino.

Cedric’s reaching for that red button.

Think of it…Tobey Terror on one side and his Tah Tah love hate (too cozy) escalating problem on the other.

He tries to prevent his cousins from meeting with other tribal members to organize a group to bring him down.  ” Voices of the People ”  is not to his liking so he tried to get the founder to meet with him to stop this uprising.  Right,you say whatever.  That effort doesn’t seem to be getting off the ground but CeddieLou is doing what he does best.   Screwing things up.   You can’t tell people they can’t exchange ideas or criticize their government or whatever the Council has become. You can’t do that to federal employees Ceddie. They become whistle blowers.

What ever you know, just tell the Feds.   They probably already know.  But you don’t want to start lying saying you didn’t know when you had access to everything. Or let’s say, you refused to be on a shady election committee so you got off.  Hummmmmmmmmmmm.  Just tell.

Stop talking and tell someone who can do something to stop this destruction.

Beyond trying to appear honest, other Tobeys are resigning from liaison posts to distance themselves from their bad votes and investigations that went no where.

For the 3rd or 4th time, the Council is going to try to pass a Genting budget today.  It’s a disgrace that all the officers make these huge salaries and do absolutely nothing.   They have all these staffers who do nothing but collect more money than the Creator to do absolutely nothing,but certify their membership cards on the Fryebal council, and hire more of their unqualified kids. Unless you’re a Frye you need not apply. You forgot hu?

All of them should forfeit their checks to the pantry and to tribal families in need. They have never given us a dime.  Not to our kids for scholarships, tutoring, tribal drug counseling, or any area were help is needed. Just crappy trips to some Chinese buffet for the Elders once a month.   And those wonderful monthly $30 food cards. The healthcare is courtesy of  the federal Indian Health Services. Housing is also a federal program. So the millions spent on a fraudulent casino was just a scheme that allowed Cedric to pimp us out and tie us up.

So if he’s threatening you and telling you not to speak out against him you need to think about that $2,500 a month your household would get ( just from Council salaries) if he and his crew weren’t stealing us blind.

Poor CeddieLou.   A victim of Tobey Terror. Join us Cedric. Fight oppression. Stop the abuse. Panic No More.
