Bill Bembenek Gets A New Job



Danville, Illinois Casino Team Includes Ex-Pala CEO, Former State Legislative Leader

Excerpt:

Another member of the Haven team will be Bill Bembenek. The University of Illinois graduate most recently served 10 years as the CEO of the Pala Casino Spa and Resort. His tenure at Pala, which is located about an hour north of San Diego, ended late last year.

The casino rendering Haven officials presented to Williams and other Danville officials looked very similar to the Pala casino.

The renderings look like pala casino's pool area.better file suit to stop him from using Pala's plans to save them money from drawing their own plans.
Probably around 200 thousand dollars or so.

It’s the exact same photo of Pala casino when they were going to do the remodel before it got stopped all you can see the difference is the balconies on the first level hotel they were going to add in so people can watch the concerts but after Robert and Teresa admitted that they spent all the money and the tribe is broke they cut the plans.

Good for him, maybe he can do for them what he did for pala. Turn his back while the chairman steals his people blind. I hope it all works out for the crook.

Anyone that has worked knows that when you're "supervisor " is crooked as an employee you have NO protection.

Who is on the election committee???? There are 2 ways for Robert to rig the elections to control who is on the EC.
1. Go into the post office where the mail in ballots are kept before the election or during the election and change the ballots by throwing away the actual ballot and making a new one.
2. Have the head of the election committee on your side and have them throw away ballots for the opponents ( per the instructions on the ballot, which is ridiculous). I know someone who was on the election committee before and they said that year it was one of robs people who was the head of the election committee like always and they just walked in with a stack of ballots and said these are the throw away votes and then took them without anyone else being able to see them. I bet you all those ballots/votes were for robs opponent. If he can throw away or change 30-50 votes with such a small amount of voters that can make a difference between Pala’s healthy prosperous future or the continuation of hate, thievery, lies and the fall of Pala.
Again I ask who is on the election committee and who is the head?

I believe that a tie breaker at the last meeting which gave the deciding vote to Rob to break the tie.
So Rob voted for Diann "lavato" Duro, so she is the election committee chairman for the next 2 years.

Dianne, who is greater, Jesus or Robert. You know the answer. You have to be forthright according to the Word of God. Be that which God has called you to be or suffer the plight of Judas.

As you can see I have not disguised myself. With annyomous because I have nothing to hide. I have done nothing wrong nor anything to bring shame to Jesus Christ or,my family. This is all the hate of one man because he is the minion of Satan. Whom do you bow your knee, Satan or Jesus.

With all the evil that Robert Smith has done to the people of Pala just goes to show you how powerful satin could be.
However you can stop evil into the ground if you believe in Jesus Christ and live according to his word.
Don't let evil ruin your lives any longer.
All answers are in the word of God, also known as your Bible.
I seriously doubt that the EC knows anything about the real word of God because if they did then everyone would be one big happy family.
Satin is very proud of Robert and Theresa Nieto.

Rob Smith and Nieto are not of this Tribe and should be banished for life for there misdeeds against the real
Cupeno members.
They have turned love into hate and the people are responsible because they let it happen by just sitting back and keeping silent.

Well I hope Diann is honest during the elections and doesn’t throw away votes or allow non members to vote for Roberts crew. Bradley is honest and a good person. He cares about Pala and will always do the right thing. I also believe Nona cares about Pala and will do what’s best despite everyone thinking she is a Robert supporter. She has been questioning the EC’s actions lately. Someone needs to camp outside the post office to make sure nobody is going inside and changing ballots.

No worries 10:13 there are hidden camera's already in place that no one not even smith or his I.T. can detect.
We are all just fed up with Smith and Nieto and we all wish that they would just go away, far far away and never again be seen on "OUR" reservation.

pala law,and the constitution Removal {d}conviction of a crime under federal ,State or TRIBAL LAW while holding office

If that's the case then Rob should be ousted because of his criminal record that was posted on this very blog about 4 months ago which included a class 3 felony for
drugs.

Well you have to get a majority vote on a recall motion from the GC.

So is Robbers getting another $100,000 bonus check this year,of course no taxes taken out.

Anonymous said...

He already got his check from the Casino but it was only for $50,000 this year.

I wonder what the EC would do if someone made a motion at the next meeting to give out a 10,000 dollar bonus in December of this year.
They would probably shit their pants , especially Smith and Nieto.
It would take away from their spending for the coming
year.
But the members deserve it.

@ 9:33pm
Robert would look at Theresa and then one of them would say we don’t have the extra funds for a bonus. We can’t just vote for a bonus and get it. The treasurer has to approve if we even have the available money to give out. We all know we do but that is not for the tribe it’s Rob’s and Nieto’s money. A motion needs to be made for the EC to show the general council the amounts of the Xmas bonuses they have given themselves the past 6 years. They like to tell us the tribe needs to cut back on spending then smith and nieto need to cut back on their American Express cards that is paid for by the tribe and all the charges they used on the card needs to be overlooked and approved by someone not on the EC. Their yearly salary needs to be scaled back to a reasonable amount. Also ALL bonuses issued to the EC needs to be approved by the general council at a meeting. Most tribal council members from any tribe that are removed from their seat is 75% of the time due to personal spending on the tribal credit card. The biggest problem with Pala and the main reason smith and nieto have been able to do what they want and get away with it for soooooo long is because Pala has NO OVERSIGHT. There is nobody above them or that works for the tribe that checks and monitors the tribal credit card spending, casino gross, how much is transferred to the tribe, where that money goes. Oversee and approve Roberts, nietos and Dions trips and spending.

TO ALL PALA MEMBERS,

If we can get Bradley and Nona on the EC we can at least hope for change. Bradley is 100% honest and cares about the people of Pala. He does a lot with the tribe for the members and children. He will do the right thing and ask the right questions. He will be fair to all members. I know some of you and myself included believe Nona is a Robert supporter but I think she is a Pala supporter so she supported the EC because they are our leaders and she like many of us believed them and what they told us. Now I think she has opened her eyes and seen how things are going and knows something is not right in Pala. I think she will demand answers and call out anyone who is doing wrong. I have spoke to others and some believe she will be bought off by rob and Theresa the minute she is on the EC. I don’t know Nona on that personal of a level to know if she is that kind of person to sell out Pala for some perks. We need strong people on the EC that are not blinded by greed and afraid to stand up to Robert and his co-chairman Theresa. If the elections are fair we will see how it turns out.
To have a fair election we need:
-an honest election committee
-honest election committee chairman
-keep an eye on robs postal annex to make sure the mail in ballots are not changed or added
-other honest tribal members hanging around the election center to keep an eye out for anything suspicious and who is voting.
Change starts with some new EC members this year and some more next year. Just 1 or 2 honest council members can open the eyes of current council members and make them see the light. Or they end up like Leroy being tortured for his despicable actions on the EC and hurting so many tribal members by staying quiet during the disenrollments when he knew it was wrong. So he says. Kilma has even spoken up on here and Facebook about how the disenrollments went down and how they were not legit or legal by Pala law.

Looking for honest Pala members that will stand up to Smith and Nieto. Please apply at the Admin building.

I believe that Nona Nejo will be a good choice for Pala.
I have spoken with her on a one to one basis and i will support her any way i can for this election.
And i hope that the members will do the same.
Only time will tell.
As far as Anthony aka Tony Ravago goes, i think that he is not a truthful man like he stated before when he was running for the vice chairman spot.
He has not done anything that he said he was going to do when he was asking for votes.
So we members do not support him anymore because of his lies.
Bradley will be a better choice for the Tribe than the others that are running.
Orozco is a yes man for Smith as we all know while he was working with Smith at the Admin so he will not make a good member of the EC for the of the Band.
We need strong people who will make the right decisions for the Tribe as a whole and not vote Smiths way because he asks them to.

This article could be written about Pala. This is exactly what’s going on currently and has been for years here at Pala. Hopefully smith and nieto are next to be arrested and charged by the reds. They will definitely plead guilty with all the evidence against them. Here’s to Pala’s future and the demise of Theresa and Robert.

That's why Rob wants his daughter on the EC.
I called the BIA office about Robs daughter running for a seat on the EC and being backed up by her Dad by saying that she could run and be on the EC at the last meeting and they said to talk to Robert Smith about any concerns regarding this issue.
And also read the Band constitution.
He even took down the home financing sign at the Pala tub and replaced it with his daughters sign running for Tribal Sect..
Hopefully the members will realize that by her getting on the EC would be a death sentence for the members of the PBMI.
PLEASE USE YOUR BRAINS WHEN VOTING THIS ELECTION AND DON'T WASTE YOUR VOTES BY VOTING FOR ROBS DAUGHTER.
IT IS A BIG SETUP BY THE SMITHS FOR MORE CONTROL AND CORRUPTION.

Screw Robs daughter we don't need another Smith on the
EC, shit we need to get rid of the Smith that is ruining our tribe, one day and one dollar at a time.
And also that bitch nieto that condones his every move.

Hahaha. Ask for a Xmas bonus before the election. You'll find out that the GC has to choose between taking another per capita cut to pay off debts or filing for bankruptcy.

No bonus and a bailout for the Pala EC. That is this month's Xmas present.
