ReplyDeleteSeeing as Congressman Raymond Redcorn was so hoppin' hot yesterday to have his bill passed (ONCA 13-53) to have the members of the Osage Nation Congress included for submitted ethics violations to the Osage Nation Attorney General's Office and got the votes for it, that is now awaiting the signature of the Chief, any suggestions for who should be first on the list and why? The web site for the OFPR and anonymous Whistleblower Hotline number and information is located at http://www.osagenationofpr.org It is our understanding that you can report without giving your name or any details. There is even a way to report and establish a case number where you can periodically check the status of the case you have filed.

DeleteUPDATE: ONCA 13-53 has been signed by the Chief as of yesterday the 11th of July, 2013. Information about the Whistleblower Hotline is available at http://www.osagetribe.com/humanresources/uploads/HRPolicyProcedures-2013-0412-web.pdf In addition, you can obtain a copy of the policies and procedures of the hotline (hotline handbook) and the hotline powerpoint presentation from the Office of Fiscal Performance and Review at http://www.osagenationofpr.org
DeleteMore on this fast moving story... The Congressional Select Committee of Inquiry to evaluate the allegations brought against the Chief has been chosen by Supreme Court Justice Meredith Drent. The members of the Congress that will sit on this Committee are Alice Buffalohead, John Jech, Archie Mason, Maria Whitehorn and Speaker Raymond Red Corn. It has come to light that this Committee will "meet in the dark" in Executive Session according to the Congressional Rules that can be changed by the Congress. The U.S. Congress held open hearings in the cases of both President Nixon and Clinton and the Osage people should be paid no less deference by our elected representatives in the Osage Nation Congress. These proceedings should be OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND BROADCAST ONLINE. We should have the right to weigh in on these proceedings and contact our members of Congress to let them know how we wish to be represented when the evidence and facts are placed before all of us. EVERY ONE OF THE SELECT COMMITTEES OF THE OSAGE NATION meet OPENLY and are subject to the Osage Nation Open Meetings Law. They are also broadcast to the Osage people and there is no reason why we should be subject to being kept out of the loop on matters involving allegations against the Chief at this level of legal importance.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great speach by Barbara Jordan. Amazing how the Chief and the current matter at hand before us parrales her speech. And after reading Kugee notes he must have taken a note or two from her as well.

ReplyDeleteRED ALERT--IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: In view of the plethora of inexplicable choices that the elected officials of the Osage Nation have made during their tenure for the last seven years, the most recent of which was reported by Congressman Raymond Redcorn in his Update #170: "For employees, the full $1.4 ($1.5) million salary adjustment increase also made the cut, along with the full 3% Merit funding attached to salaries.", the Osage Blog is announcing its NEW Election Initiative that we are calling the Osage Surge for Candidates to come forward from outside of Osage County and the State of Oklahoma to run in the upcoming Osage Nation elections; "The Osage Surge" for short. We need boots on the ground, Osage members, to turn around the policies and spending practices of the Osage Nation government to one that is sensible and reasonable that includes ALL Osages no matter were they reside which was promised to us if we were to support a new Osage Constitutional government. We need to reestablish a proper balance from the top down and the bottom up! Please join this initiative and if you can, run for office in the upcoming Osage Nation elections in 2014. Since they won't, each one of us need to stand up and take responsibility and BE RESPONSIBLE for what our new government does in the future. Now IS the time for all good Osages to come to the aid of their new Constitutional government.
ReplyDeleteRED ALERT--VOTER INFORMATION--To help you cast your vote in the upcoming elections, take a look at the Legislation Vote Records for the members of the Osage Nation Congress: http://www.osagetribe.com/congress/info_sub_page.aspx?subpage_id=183 and the Congressional Attendance Records: http://www.osagetribe.com/congress/info_sub_page.aspx?subpage_id=184 that have NOT been updated for the Third Osage Nation Congress. Someone has clearly dropped the ball on NOT getting out the Third Congress Session Attendance records. When will this information become available to the voters Speaker Raymond Red Corn? The Committee attendance reports are located at: http://www.osagetribe.com/congress/info_sub_page.aspx?subpage_id=225
ReplyDeleteWho is chiefly responsible in the ON Congress for the Osage, LLC., and the loss of the people's money reported to be between $11-$12 MILLION?. This is a 65%-70% loss of the funds invested -- a total of $17.5 MILLION -- including the money paid for the Tulsa Airpark ($4.9 MILLION). In an e-mail sent to Congressman Raymond Redcorn on May 27, 2009, a constituent wrote, "As you know, the times are so bad from an economic standpoint that I too have questioned whether the timing is right to launch a full scale business development effort via the Osage LLC....I also have some questions as to the new CEO (Carol Leese) and his last employment with the PBDC. See http://www.potawatomibdc.com/images/upload/PBDC_2007AnnualReport-000.pdf He and Lance Morgan were not there for long as is represented at http://www.potawatomibdc.com/our_people.php What I would like to know is why the Harvard business model that was seeded there did not take root." DID Redcorn ever dig deep and get any answers for the constituent who wrote to him? Did he ever research this information and the lead that was provided to him that could have stopped this thing because those were questions that should have been asked by those directly responsible to the members of the Osage Nation and as a result, because they went unanswered, they proved to be a precursor of such massive losses for the Osage Nation. Now, if you take a look at all of the Legislation associated with the Osage, LLC that has been passed into law, you will find the answer to my first question: ONCA 09-35, ONCA 08-30, ONCA 09-77, ONCA 11-61, ONCA 11-63, ONCA 12-29, ONCA 12-112, ONCR 08-09, ONCR 08-10, ONCR 09-03, ONCR 10-33. Do your own homework at http://www.osagetribe.com/congress/info_sub_page.aspx?subpage_id=189 The results are very interesting...
ReplyDeleteThe upcoming election is critical. Do you want 4 more years of 'business as usual' ? In-depth discussions & links to candidate meet & greets at "Osages for fiscal responsibility" FB page. You'll also find candidate voting records and get a good idea of who has tried to make positive changes, i.e. stop pouring money down the LLc black hole, and create accountability (StandingBear) and who voted FOR every bill pouring cash into the LLc & AGAINST bills demanding accountability (RedCorn) StephenCampbell #000227
