Seems all Pala's EC does anymore is evict people. Warner Ranch Indians got evicted from Kupa. They got disenrolled by mostly non-Cupeno. And now they are being evicted again.
Kenny Johnson and Gina Howard are both Margarita Brittain descendants. Must be just a coincidence they are being targeted for eviction.
I cannot speak for the other people named on the agenda because I do not know them. But I can say there is no reason to evict Kenny and Gina other than pure spite on the part of Robert Smith.

Meeting Update
As far as I have been able to confirm what happened last night was the following:
The 11 members of the Interim Committee were stripped of their voting rights for life, cannot attend tribal meetings, and cannot hold office.
I can't seem to get the exact vote so if anyone knows let me know.
I was told the vote was 178 Yes to 124 No.
Anything beyond that I do not know. I don't know if there was any discussion.
I am sure there will be various rumors. I don't know if the vote was electronic or by hand. Some have said there was an issue with vote counting. I can't verify that at all. Some say only some people got the meeting notice and not others. I can't verify that either.
There could have possibly been some confusion since Robert did send out a letter saying the May 17th Emergency Meeting was illegal and it would be dealt with at the next General Council meeting, June 11th. Then Howard Maxcy called the emergency meeting to "deal" with the Interim Committee. So I guess some people could have gotten confused.
But close to 300 people at a meeting is a pretty good turn out. Does anyone have an exact number for the turn out?
In the meanwhile the push for online poker in California continues:
LA Times - Will PokerStars be dealt out of legalized online poker in California?
Excerpt:
So the April 23 discussion before the Governmental Organization Committee was filled with talk about California's "tremendously competent regulators," and how to keep unspecified "bad actors" out of California gaming, and how legislators should avoid "picking winners and losers."
These were code words for the most explosive issue still dividing California's Indian tribes — whether PokerStars should be allowed to participate. Since legalization depends almost entirely on what the tribes want, it's not a trivial matter.
The state's poker interests basically have coalesced into two groups. The one group is made up of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, which owns California's largest casino; the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians; and the Agua Caliente, Pala and other tribes. The second group comprises the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, whose huge casino is located just northwest of Palm Springs; and the Bicycle, Commerce and Hawaiian Gardens card clubs. They've made a deal with PokerStars to run their online game.

Howard Maxcy Calls for an Emergency Meeting - Misquotes Constitution
Howard Maxcy has called for an emergency meeting. In the process he has misquoted the Constitution and instead offers his interpretation.
Every tribal member should have a copy of the Constitution. Here is what sections referred to state:
Article III - General Council
Section 3. MEETINGS
A. Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the General Council shall be convened On.
the 2nd Wednesday of each month.
B. Special Meetings. Special General Council meetings may be called by the Executive
Committee or by a petition signed by ten percent (10%) of the eligible voters
stating the purpose of the special meeting and proposed agenda for the special
meeting.
C. Quorum. Actions taken at a regular or special meeting of the General Council shall
not be valid unless a quorum consisting of at least 25 eligible voting members of
the Pala Band, five of which must be Executive Council Members, have signed in
at the meeting.’ If there is not a quorum present, the meeting may proceed for
informational purposes, but no votes shall be taken.
D. Notice. All regular and special General Council metings shall be publicly noticed
for no less than fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the meeting by posting notices
at the Tribal Offices and/or at other appropriate places on the Reservation. In the
case of an emergency, a meeting may be called on three (3) days advance notice and
which notice shall also be posted in advance at the Tribal Hall and/or other

Section 2.
J. The General Council will authorize the Executive Committee to remove members

------
Please refer to your Constitution.
I know some did not come to the Emergency Meeting last Saturday because they feared retaliation. Others were misinformed and told the meeting was invalid and/or canceled.
Every tribal member needs to attend this meeting. Please go to the meeting. Stand up and let your voice be heard!
