VOTE Cathy L. Metoxen Vice - Chair A vote for Cathy L. Metoxen is a Vote for General Tribal Council I believe that (G.T.C.) has a right to know where all our money is being spent and where all our money is coming from. All people should be treated fairly, respectfully and with honesty. When General Tribal Council members have come to me to ask hard questions, and make hard statements, I have spoken for and stood up for them. I have spoken up and stood up for those who couldn’t. I have spoken up and stood up for those who were afraid to stand up and ask. When General Tribal Council members want to know about programs, com- mittees, commissions and boards, I will do my best to get them honest answers. As the Vice-Chairperson, I will continue to speak up and stand up for General Tribal Council members with fairness, respectfulness and honesty.
