Leader Post;
The battle to remove Redman - paid $194,737 in tax-free remuneration in 2011, including $174,862 from Standing Buffalo, $13,375 from the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) and $6,500 from the Battlefords Agency Tribal Chiefs Inc. - has already been an arduous and nasty one for the senators.
Their efforts to impeach Redman and five other band council members - whose total remuneration was close to a million dollars in 2011 - have been now been abandoned in favour of a plan to hold a March 16 election for chief and council. Nominations occurred on the weekend, but had to be held outside in the cold. Someone had placed chained padlocks on the community centre, bingo hall and school.
[...]
Questions by the senators as to why it was necessary for the chief and council members to claim per diems for 700 to 800 meetings that significantly padded their remuneration remain unanswered.
