Politics at LTBB

from the Petoskey News-Review (H/t Pechanga and Indianz) and a second article is here:

During its regular meeting Sunday, Sept. 27, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians Tribal Council made a declaration against comments made by its tribal chairman to the press.

Tribal Chairman Ken Harrington’s comments were made in response to the Tribal Council’s meeting on Sept. 13, during which tribal elders spoke out about their concerns regarding Harrington’s hiring practices, as well as his morals and ethics while in office.

While tribal elders were making comments, a reporter from the News-Review was excused from the meeting without motion.

The following day — Sept. 14 — Harrington agreed to meet with the reporter to provide updates regarding the elders comments.

In the Sept. 15 edition of the News-Review, it was reported that Harrington told the reporter that the council discussed the tribal elders comments and came out on his side.
