Membership Finally
                Receives First  Beloit
         Casino Informational Meeting
    Sunday January 10, 2010 - Almost ten long
    years overdue, the Bad River tribal council
    finally presented an informative meeting to the
    Bad River Nation regarding the status of the
    Beloit casino project. Chairman Wiggins opened
    the presentation by restating his promise for a
    more transparent government. Friday's meeting
    (1/8/10) was the first of its kind, which was open
    to tribal membership since the project had first
    been set into motion. The presentation was
    highlighted by informational handouts
    describing the Beloit Casino Project's time line
    and a general breakdown of the monies spent
    which was displayed on an overhead projector.
    After the presentation there was an open
    discussion between the council and tribal
    membership. The meeting was very candid and
    for the first time membership had the
    opportunity to get many heartfelt questions and
    concerns off their chests. It was also the first
    time the tribal council had much needed
    community input. Walking away, the general
    consensus of the meeting was the protection
    and preservation of our tribal lands and assets.
    Not present at the meeting was Vice chairman,
    Peter Lemieux and council member, Bonnie
    Greene. To view the presentation literature click
