They only get paid if they win the lawsuit. There are no damages specified, so my guess is that they are hoping to find other parties to join as plaintiffs and leverage into class action litigation.<br /><br />Hobbs, Straus, Dean & Walker, LLP is the firm representing PBMI in the Purdue Pharma complaint. Has this firm been approved by the GC and the Secretary as required by the PBMI Constitution? Any PBMI member that wants to, and the more the merrier, should file an appeal with the Pacific Regional Director, Amy Dutschke, that the attorneys in this action have not been approved in violation of the PBMI Constitution. I know. There probably aren't any members with the backbone to do this. <br /><br />Just like there aren't any members with the courage to stand up at a meeting, cite Roberts Rules of Order, and attempt to discuss new business, like the failure to obtain approval for attorneys before filing a lawsuit on behalf of the Band.<br /><br />Nor are they any members willing to file a complaint with the BIA that the Pala EC is in violation of the Revenue Allocation Plan because they have not reported a reduction in Casino revenue yet are reducing per capita. Or maybe they and just neglected to inform the GC? That would actually be funny. <br /><br />Members must feel threatened by Robert's safe full of blackmail evidence. He has compromised many members. The security footage has captured all kinds of bad behavior, but it goes deeper than that. Those he can't threaten personally have family that he threatens to harm. Then there are those who get extra money and don't want to stop the flow of extra funds. Or those who don't have the blood degree and would be disenrolled if Robert wasn't head of the enrollment committee. <br /><br />I guess these people outnumber the good people, and this numbers game has to get you thinking. The bad guys now outnumber the good guys, and that is why Robert Smith continues his corrupt agenda with the cooperation of the Band. It will end up being a case of people getting what they deserve at some point soon enough. <br /><br />I hate to say it, but if the good people are not willing to stand up for what is right they will have to face their own music when the time comes. How sad that innocent people will get painted the same black color as the Chairman, but if they won't stand against the crime then they will be held culpable just like the Chairman.Reinstatement_Restitutionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930007890367591643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352705933637881248.post-22884701872357558122018-12-16T11:38:36.251-08:002018-12-16T11:38:36.251-08:00Wouldn't have to take out loans if he didn'...Wouldn't have to take out loans if he didn't make such bad investments, which of course is to cover up his crimes.

I’m not sure about the others or how accurate this is but it’s basically the same you stated so it’s most likely accurate. Even though we didn’t receive a Xmas bonus you beat believe rob and theresa did. I would love to see someone bring up the EC yearly payments to be discussed by the general council and amended if necessary at our monthly meeting. Let’s see how quick rob shuts that down by stating it’s not on the agenda. To bad Pala doesn’t have enough warriors to keep submitting requests to add such topics on the agenda and bring them up at the meetings after being denied over and over again. King did and Willy did and that’s why Robert Hated them so much. Nobody rarely backed them up that’s why they weren’t successful when trying to get answers out of smith or nieto at the meetings. If enough people spoke up at the meeting and didn’t back down they would have to discuss or allow it to be added to next months agenda. Robert knows everyone is whipped into submission that’s why he does what he does because the only 2 people that repeatedly opposed him are dead and the other was banned from meetings along with 9 others from 9 families that tried to stand up for the people. Even robs own uncle Larry an elder was attacked at a meeting when he wouldn’t back down and demanded answers from rob.<br />Things at Pala have been heading one direction since 2012 when they disenrolled to save money which didn’t help since they still had to take out a loan to pay out a Christmas bonus and then every year after until this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352705933637881248.post-28021245743057133302018-12-15T18:54:54.699-08:002018-12-15T18:54:54.699-08:00@ 10:03 AM

They claim that the GC has given them the authority to make financial decisions without GC approval. The GC has not recalled or removed any EC members for violations of tribal law. It is illegal for the EC to use the Gaming Ordinance as authority to make financial decisions because any Ordinance the Band adopts must conform with the Constitution. Somehow the members vote to approve illegal acts after the fact, or Robert produces some phony resolution and the federal government says it's an internal tribal matter and can't interfere. <br /><br />Look forward to another similar sequence with per capita reduction, and a Resolution that will be approved by the GC to divert funds equivalent to the reduction to the account of Robert's choice.Reinstatement_Restitutionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930007890367591643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352705933637881248.post-53809128567308500952018-12-15T10:03:10.160-08:002018-12-15T10:03:10.160-08:00If you went to meetings and payed attention you wo...If you went to meetings and payed attention you would know how much percap is going down they have said it. It’s enough to make a difference in many peoples lives, well the ones that rely solely on percap. Let’s just say it’s a third of the take home. This will not of course affect the EC as their pay for being on the EC will not change. Nieto and rob make over $100k being on council plus bonuses so the percap doesn’t matter much to them. Also you really think the NIGC is going to do anything come on have they yet. The EC can change percap anyway they want as long as it’s according to the distribution plan and matches how much “they say” is coming from the casino.
