Support for Kenny Poindexter

Many OKC folks support Kenny Poindexter as the OKC Rep. He gives us information. He holds meetings. He is upfront with what is happening. He tells us what goes on in Council Meetings. Sorry Diane. Those are the Caddo people's meetings!! Not just yours. You conduct our business.

Not everyone agrees with every vote Kenny takes. But disagreement is fine as long as people do not use profanity or yell.

Re: Support for Kenny Poindexter

I truly believe that every person on the council votes what they feel is the best for the Caddo Nation, no collusion, plots or plans. No council member should be "called out" or "chastised" for the way they choose to exercise their vote. We elected this council to watch out for our best interest and although they may disagree at times, I think they all work pretty well together. Maybe if they were a bit more tolerant of each other, things would run more smoothly.

Re: Support for Kenny Poindexter

Not all of them were voted in, some were appointed... Kenny being on of them, as well as ft.cobb person, whatever his name is.
All I know is the last membership meeting was a joke. sista ,

Oh did talk to an attorney, we can file a civil suit against the election board for them getting paid for mileage, and meetings Its obvious the council isn't going to hold them accountable, but we can/

Re: Support for Kenny Poindexter

That's right! Appointed Council members: Vice-Chairman, OKC Rep, Ft Cobb, and Binger Rep. All appointed! Four (4), appointed. Didn't know these guys were appointed to FINISH A TERM. WOW, NEW IDEA. Run for an office when the term is up!

Wouldn't those appOintments be 4 for years? That's what happened when the EB didn't hold a 2007 election. Even though the Chairman should have been elected to finish the 03 term, ending in 07. Parker's term was up in 03, an she should have been elected to finish the 03 term in 07. Also, The Chairman's on an extended term of 6 years, thanks to her niece on the EB.

Can the EB really be sued under civil rights? For money owed to the tribe?

Re: Support for Kenny Poindexter

Been thinking about that and speaking with an attorney. The council vote to correction a mistake they made by giving them too much money, well within their rights, and one that should have. Although Parker refuses to sign the resolution really does not make a ****, she can be charged as well. Parker refused to sign it because the council can't be involved with the election. Well, she's right in that regard, but not funding them to the tune of 70,000-80,000.00 is not being involved. They can't be involved with the process, two different issues here. But to answer that questions, Yes both civil and criminally that can be charged. We need to turn it over to the investigators. The council has voted for them to stop their current practices relative to the money and they are continuing. Maybe we, as the membership, as Parker is always referring to us as the supreme governing body of the tribe, should file the complaint.
They could use the money to repay the elders for what Parker Hinse and Kodaseet took illegally from them,help our ICW children, help with education, but no, we are paying a paycheck to the chairmans niece.
