Unit 1 Representative
Director Joe Eitrem is a man of integrity. Reared in Sugar island. Joe comes from a large family. Married for 46 years to his wonderful wife Dorothy, they raised 3 children and were blessed with 12 wonderful Grandchildren.
As a young man Joe went to work for Algoma Steel rising to the ranks of foreman. Upon Algoma Steel shutting down Joe became their liaison for nearly 15 years. Later Joe became a Realtor and sold real estate for 15 years.
Upon Joe's retirement he decided to run for Board and put his business skills to work to help the people of the Tribe. Joe was elected to the Board in 2004.
Joe co-sponsored the resolution to end double dipping with Director Causley and was met with some strong opposition from the Chairman and his associates. Although many campaigned to end double dipping, when it came down to it many cowered from their word for personal interest votes. Todd Gravelle likes to take credit for ending double dipping, but the seed was planted long before that.
Several years ago some unsavory characters attempted to come out under aliases to defame, libel, and shame many innocent people. Director Eitrem brought forth a resolution in St. Ignace to have these individuals investigated. The strongest opposition came from Aaron Payment and Todd Gravelle. It was suspected by many that these two individuals had a vested interest in the promoting chaos. All Director Eitrem was looking for was to find the truth and let justice be served. Unfortunately that never happened.
Director Eitrem and several other Board Members have been working real hard to re-establish political ties for a Romulus Casino that were obstructed mainly because of Chairman Payments insistence on Flint. These obstructions have put us 2 years behind on the Romulus vision.
All and all Director Eitrem has maintained honesty and integrity throughout this childish ordeal. If given the opportunity to utilize his skills without obstruction, Director Eitrem can help lead this Tribe into a brighter more prosperous future.
A vote for Joe Eitrem is a vote for integrity. Joe is a giver, not a taker. Don't be fooled by the other generic candidates.
