Governor Stitt’s renegotiating approach is to increase the exclusivity fees that tribes pay to the State of Oklahoma on monthly bases. By increasing the fees it will hurt the size of our Tribe it will take away services that we provide for you our tribal people. It will not only decrease or dissolve the services but it will show to the Tribes that the State is unwillingly to take interest in our Tribal Government as Sovereign Nations.
The Absentee Shawnee Tribe signed the compact with the State of Oklahoma on January 27, 2005. In the last 15 years we have paid $6.6 million dollars in exclusivity fees to the State. Combining both the Norman and Shawnee Casino we employ 155 employees presently in which 27% are Absentee Shawnee Tribal people, 18% of other tribal affiliation and non-tribal 55%.
The Absentee Shawnee Executive Committee will continue to be active in this important issue as it will play a big part in our Tribes future. A few Oklahoma Tribes Report continued page 5 Report continued page 4 4 Executive Committee August 2019 Secretary’s Report
By John Johnson, AST Secretary Hello Tribal Members, Let me start by saying I have received many phone calls from concerned tribal members regarding our most recent election. I am just as concerned and am at a loss as to why this has drug on for so long. I have asked the Election Commission to be transparent as possible and let the tribal members know what is going on. But I have yet to see any definitive communication from the Election Commission. A majority of the tribal members are very concerned with the lack of action from the Election Commission, and frankly, so am I. I have honestly and fairly won both the primary election and the run-off election, by a large margin. I have asked the Election Commission, why they haven’t certified the election? The Election Ordinances do NOT allow the Election Commission to stop an election or allow them to NOT certify the election. It is the responsibility of the Election Commission to hold an election and certify our tribal election with a swearing in ceremony. But this has not happened! I am disappointed and extremely frustrated as to the cowardly, political tactics used to disrupt our tribal election process. Clearly Edwina Butler-Wolfe and our old tribal AG, William Norman with Hobbs Straus, did not have the best interest of the tribe when introducing the Secretarial Elections. In fact they both stated in an Executive Committee meeting and at the April General Council that the secretarial election would NOT interfere with the tribal elections. Obviously they were lying and have been lying to all of us. The resolution voted on by the Executive Committee did not include wording that the new Executive Committee terms would be effective immediately. Additionally, our Constitution Revision Committee never submitted item “B” for the secretarial election. All 3200 eligible tribal members did not receive a packet? After correcting the Eligible tribal members list twice, the eligible voters list was then given directly to William Norman who personally drove down to the BIA in Anadarko and persuaded the BIA to quickly hold the Secretarial Election. William Norman, as the AG for the Tribe, failed to tell them that the Tribe was in the middle of elections and that we were going into Election runoffs. To quote an email from William Norman was received on December 19, 2018 at 5:30p.m., “THE BIA WILL GENERALLY AVOID SCHEDULING A SECRETARIAL ELECTION AT THE SAME TIME AS TRIBAL ELECTIONS. THE BIA’S ELECTION OFFICIALS WILL ASSEMBLE AND MAIL A SECRETARIAL ELECTION NOTICE 30-60 DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION TO ALL PERSONS ON THE ELIGIBLE VOTERS LIST. “As the AG for the tribe, what was the main reason for pushing the Secretarial election so quickly, was it for personal gain or one body of the Executive Committee? Both Edwina Butler-Wolfe and our old AG deceived the Executive Committee and all our tribal people. I regret not seeing through their deception and not addressing this issue sooner. I am and will always continue to work in the best interest of the tribe. In response to the Governor’s report: July 2019 The same issues of negativity keep coming up from Edwina. Every past and present report made by Edwina Butler- Wolfe is always about what she doesn’t like; what EC member did what; what key positions non-native employees hold, etc. She brings up old cases that have been thoroughly investigated. So, tell me how and why any of those things are relevant to moving the tribe forward. Her bullying tactics are unnecessary and should not be created by the Governor of the Tribe. In her report, I have never seen anything she has done for the tribe. She has been in office for 6 years and I have not seen any real growth or any positive direction that she has lead us in. Our bank under her oversight has crumbled. She has no economic development she can point to. She hasn’t displayed any leadership skills that have benefited our tribe. Ask her and you will find she has Report continued page 5 August 2019 Executive Committee 5 Continued Report from page 4 no plans for the future of our tribe. The only thing she has is negativity, bad business practices and unprofessional leadership. She also talks about doing away with the 3 signatures to move business forward. To clarify, our Constitution states 3 signatures are required to do business. Edwina Butler-Wolfe is aware of what the EC is trying to do or what the plans are. If she doesn’t like the plan or it isn’t her idea, she just refuses to hear them. That is not a leader, those are actions of a spoiled child. Every meeting that has been held are all informal meetings to go over issues, corresponding documents or business deals. That is the purpose of a committee to discuss issues, ideas and business proposals and get everyone on the same page. At one time, these meetings were being held, every Monday morning at 9:00 a.m. but I’m not sure why she decided she didn’t want to hold these meetings as her duty as the Governor. She stated “it being the duty of the Governor to have general supervision of the affairs of the Executive Committee and to perform all duties pertaining to the office of the Governor” then do these duties, attend the meetings, then you would know and have an input. Everything that is passed by resolution, contract or business proposal has went across her desk some way or another. Tell me how the Governor of “our” Tribe can easily cancel these informal meetings then complain to tribal members that she doesn’t have any idea what is going on. She does know she just doesn’t want to acknowledge it. She has one mind set and that is self-gain. Every month her report states she attends all these meetings but what information is brought back to the tribe pertaining to the meetings. I ask you again, what information do you get from reading her articles? These articles are unnecessary, and they do not pertain to tribal business. Is that what tribal members really want to hear? Do you really want to know the gossip and rumors that are going on? How about you ask why the Horseshoe bend afterschool program closed; why there are so many complaints on Building Blocks; or why All Nations Bank is not progressing. Why don’t you ask her these questions? It is your right to know. Your questions and concerns need to be answered. Our people have spoken and have clearly elected me as our tribe’s new Governor. Edwina Butler-Wolfe should leave on positive terms, not be asked to leave. A true leader would and should step down with grace, rather than fight to keep her
position through deceit.
You’re newly elected Governor, John Johnson
