7+1 $2.66 MILLION DOLLAR LAWSUIT PROCEEDS
Greetings!
With Judge Charles Johnson's request to hold a mitigation session today, the Sault Tribe Board of Directors held an official Special Meeting of the Tribe at the Ojibway Ramada Inn in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The meeting was opened at 9am and concluded by around 4pm. The result?
NO DEAL!
Just as we requested, Tribal Members like you inundated the Tribal Board with input to allow the case to go to Trial. Though half of the Board like Causley, McCoy, and the Bouschor coterie were scared to try to push for a settlement, the others (possibly over half of the 13 Member Board) respected the will of the people to hold these thieves accountable for their actions in stealing nearly $3 million from each and every Elder, man, woman, and child of our Tribe.
Upon opening the meeting, a motion was made by Denise Chase (Unit 4) and seconded by Catherine Hollowell (Unit 2) to conflict out Debra Ann Pine given her mother is listed as a defendant in the case. Recall that Pine's mother and Bouschor's first cousin, Jolene Nertoli stole over $400,000 from the Tribe. The vote was unanimous.
For the record, the Pine family is a good, honest, family and they are my close cousins. Like me, they do not support Debra Ann's strident efforts to defend her mother's actions to steal from her own people.
CHAIRMAN McCOY & VICE CHAIR ATTEMPT TO INDIMIDATE TRIBAL ELDER CHUCK FORGRAVE.
Read for yourself, in his own words [edited for brevity], the confrontation from McCoy and Causley to Tribal Elder Chuck Forgrave. For those of you who do not know, Chuck has long been a Sault Tribe Political Pundit. He is a Tribal Member and has no personal stake in Sault Tribe politics other than as a voting Tribal Member who wishes to bring some integrity into Sault Tribe governance.
Shame on McCoy and Causley for trying to intimidate an Elder. I am extremely proud of Chuck for standing up to these goons. Please take a moment and send chuck and email to show your support.

'Sault Ste. Marie, Mi...While visiting briefly with Chairman McCoy this afternoon in the lobby of the Ojibway Hotel, HE ATTACKED ME for writing all kinds of stuff about him.
He asked me where I got my information from anyway, cussing and swearing while doing it.
He asked me why I didn't call him if I wanted to talk to him. I asked him if he got my invite to be interviewed, he said no. I explained that it went to the tribe's website as well as his home, and that both emails had gone through. I asked him if he read my emails, he said no. He heard about them from others, he said. I told him he should read them and call me if he has a problem with anything I say. I asked him to give me specific example of where I said something that wasn't the simply truth, and he didn't do it.
Vice Chair Causley came up to me and put her hand out and introduced herself. She said she didn't like the things I wrote about her and asked me why I said the things about her that I did when I didn't even know her. Then she turned and walked off, ignoring my requests for her to come back and talk. She left me with the impression that I had just talked to someone who was acting. Lana Causley and I have known one another for years. Her daughter and mine hung out together.
Oh well, talk about fun. Is there any hope, given the characters that we citizens have representing us. Sometimes, I don't think there is.
Thank you, Charles Forgrave'
Today the news was good! Thanks again for caring enough about your Tribe to stay informed even when the news is not good.

If Deb Pine had even an ounce of integrity, the BOD vote to exclude her would not have been necessary, as SHE WOULD HAVE RECUSED HERSELF BEFOREHAND. But not Deb Pine, in her world is seems that there are no conflicts and cronyism is the name of the game.
