GTB Constitution Reform Proposals (Uggh!)
From the Leelanau News:
Problems apparent during the last tribal election are among factors spurring the Tribal Council of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians to call for establishment of a “Legislative Drafting Committee” which will review procedures for amending the Tribal Constitution.
Hundreds of GTB members last year signed a petition calling for an amendment to the Tribal Constitution following a highly contentious 2006 election process that delayed the seating of newly elected Tribal Council members until 2007 and resulted in the elimination of two of the top vote-getters from the race.
A proposed constitutional amendment would allow tribal members to vote for the position of Chief Judge and Appellate Judges of the Tribal Court, the Tribal Prosecutor and Tribal Police Captain. Currently, those positions are filled by political appointees hand-picked by elected members of the Tribal Council.
