The Pala Band of Mission Indians is a federally recognized tribe whose reservation is located along the Palomar Mountain range approximately 30 miles northeast of San Diego.

Progress? We don't need no stinking progress. At least not what Smith thinks is progress. Enjoy your per capita reduction, and please approve an administrative budget without any changes. Cost cutting is for members only. Admin can't take any reduction. Pala Security needs new vehicles for the comfort of their sleep.

The Webster Dictionary just discovered a new meaning of the word
stupid.
Stupid = a band of Native Americans called PBMI who support lies,
corruption, murders, fraud, drug running, and many more illegal acts
done by their Tribal leaders.

If that news paper wants to write a good article about Smith and Pala they should talk to some of the Tribal Members that the EC has screwed over.
That would be a article worth reading.

Robert and Theresa better think twice about lowering the per capita, not giving anyone notice on how much, gee....give people time to plan and budget. Not everyone gets the full monthly per capita because of loans, child or spousal support, etc. I'll be damned if they get bonuses but not the Tribal members. If we're so broke sell those friggin jets,no raises, and no raises for the different departments.

In order to stop the cut of our per cap there are only 2 ways to stop it.
#1- vote to not cut it no matter what they say.
#2- Kill the corrupt son of a bitches and dump there ass over the embankment on pala temecula rd.
Or in the ponds on hwy 76 where security is always sleeping.
I guess number 2 is the only option because everyone is afraid to stand up and make motions at the meetings that would go against Rob or Nieto.
At the very least someone should kick their asses real good and let them know that the people are not going to sit idle anymore.
If it is voted down by the General Membership then they can not cut it.
We all know that at the next meeting they will be ready will a bunch of lies and blame the management at the Casino for the cut.
The managers don't seem to know any thing about what we were told at the last meeting, they say the Casino is doing very well.
Also the construction project that is going on is covered by a line of credit issued by a bank so they can not blame the cut on that part.
They just need the money for Pala Interactive to fund the online gaming bullshit which they refuse to talk about to the members.
Like I said either vote4 not to cut the members per cap or kill them.

The FBI has more than enough info and proof, so why do they not make major arrests? Is it that they are getting paid off? Is it that they do not have the guts? Is it that the corruption goes too deep and too many top officials would also be implicated? Is it that the FBI is incompetent and does not know what to do or how to handle the situation? It has to be one of these reasons. Eventually it will come out, because they do not have the only copies of the info, which they probably have shelved or destroyed if they were paid off or the corruption is too deep.

The FBI probably won't act for the same reasons that the members of PBMI won't act, TO CHICKEN SHIT.

Question for 1:48 PM
So you know who the Killer is do you.
You also know that withholding evidence is a crime and could get you prosecuted along with the killer.
You could be charged with accessory after the fact.

Why is Pala the only Reservation that put their election results in the news paper?
You never read any other Reservations results.
It must be part of the perks that Smith gets from the news papers that he pays off to print fake news for him.
HOW ABOUT YOU NEWS OUTLETS PRINT SOME REAL AND TRUTHFUL
ARTICLES ABOUT THE WAY THAT SMITH AND NIETO TREAT SOME OF THE TRIBAL MEMBERS THAT DON'T SUPPORT THEIR CORRUPT AGENDA.
THAT WOULD BE A GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE TO SEE THE REAL ROBERT SMITH AND THERESA NIETO FOR WHAT THEY ARE.
THE HEADLINE COULD BE,"BIG PIECES OF SHIT FOUND TO BE RUNNING A RESERVATION IN NORTH COUNTY.
