From the San Carlos Apache Tribe to
Marvin Mull and Rhyne Dosela!
Tribal Vehicles – Volvo and Dodge Intrepid traded in for Mull and Dosela. Council approved for Rhyne to purchase 97 Dodge Intrepid for $4,000 and Mull to make the last payment on his Volvo – all transactions were completed early and in order to stop Council from taking cars back, they were both traded in.
Since the Vice Chairman and the "Acting Vice Chairman" both took their cars, the incoming Vice Chairman V.Sneezy purchased a new car for himself.
Traveling throughout the reservation, many have noticed that there are individuals living in inadequate housing. Corruption continues to exist, elected leaders violate their oaths of office by "having favoritism for themselves".
People have a right to be angry, the money the Council has used to pay themselves and their attorney’s have not helped any of their constituents. The question is how far are they willing to go to protect themselves? And what cost will the people suffer?

Petitions continue to be circulated for:
