Sault Tribe Board Elects Chairperson
Sault Tribe Board of Directors Use You’re Vote !
As anticipated and months of political posturing most of the Sault Tribe Board of Directors have elected Director Joe Eitrem to fill in the rest of Joe McCoy’s term as Chairman, the term will end in June 2012.
Joe McCoy’s resignation on May 10, 2011 left a lot of unanswered questions to the membership. The Tribal membership want to know, what lead up to Mr. McCoy’s resignation other then “due to circumstances beyond my control”. Was it because of a personal situation or was it a political situation that many Tribal members suspect?
If it was political, then the Tribal membership has all the rights to be concerned. It would have been Joe McCoys responsibility to inform the membership of any potential problems within the Tribal Government, unless he was part of the problem too.
The other thing the Tribal members are concerned about is who will the Tribal Board put in Joe Eitrem’s empty seat? Will it be someone they owe a political favor too or a person that will help the Old Guard strengthen their iron grip on the Tribe once again?
You can expect more to be said on this issue as the Tribal Board does the membership’s duty and once again elect whomever they want to fill Joe Eitrem's empty Board seat in Unit 1.
It is no surprise that the Tribal Membership has not trusted the Sault Tribe Government since the Bouschor, Payment, McCoy and now possibly the Eitrem administration, especially when they allow themselves to take your vote and use it anyway they want.
It's definitely time for a Big Change come the next election.
