Public Enemy Deb Pine
In Pine's first Unit Report she thanks those that helped her and those she said helped her deceiving the Members of the Sault Tribe to Elect her. Her arrogance and ignorance mirrors that of her Uncle Bernard Bouschor. This is downright libel and charges need to be pursued.
In the next issue Pine writes a correction (above) trying to play-off her earlier statements as Anishinaabe humor. There is NO apology by Pine here. She simply writes people off as being stupid. Grondin, Wright, Forgrave, and Weaver need to weigh their legal options. Pine clearly committed libel and used the Tribes resources to do so.
What Pine does reveal in her Unit report is her behind the scenes manipulative backstabbers who are presumed to have sent out an illegal mailer prior to the Election including telling flat out lies about the Candidates. There were also those who are elected to be impartial (Judge Nertoli) playing into the Pine scheme.
Pine and her associates are the direct beneficiaries of core per capita. These people are always first in line before the real neediest of Tribal Members.
The Tribal Board had to rule that Pine was in a conflict in the 7+2 case. Pine has no intentions of working together with the Board other than Bouschor. Her material states: "I want to thank everyone for their support in this last election. Now let’s see what we can accomplish, together." That's not happening. Her first acts was that of a dishonest Director with her own Agenda.
Pine states the following: "In 2008, Joe McCoy took over as Chairman and he had a mess on his hands. Our tribe was running a fifteen million dollar ($15,000,000) deficit due to the previous administration."
True or not the Members will never know the real truth. The real deal is the Tribe needs the money. They need the 2.6 million pilfered during the ousting of former Dictator Bernard Bouschor and his loyalists.
Part of that 2.6 Million Pine's mother Jolene Nertroli was a beneficiary. Soon after Pine and her husband have 2 businesses. Quite suspicious to say the least or does money really grow on trees?
Pine her Mother Jolene Nertoli, Her Aunt Cathy Devoy, and her Uncle Tony Nertoli are indebted to Bernard Bouschor for life and will go to any lengths to keep their crime family together. Their work of serving themselves will continue until they are removed from the Tribe. Deb Pine is on a mission to continue the crooked Government created by Bouschor. Make no mistake, Pine is the Public enemy.
All Pines actions are suspect and should be treated that way. She's another crook who slipped through the Election gap. Until the Election Committee is revamped and Isaac McKechnie is no longer involved in it, expect more of the same.
