Ed, You are right but the fault lies in the way the Feds dole out the monies to band leaders instead of to the individual members of the bands. Each individual in these communities should get their equal portion of the pie. It would then be up to the chiefs or leaders to properly tax the individual as a municipal tax to fund hydro, water, sewer, roads projects and any other community need they may require. The way it is, there is no federal accountability as to where funding goes and it is here where the blame lies. As it stands it pisses off the taxpayer that supplied this funding in the first place and secondly the majority of band members that are not benefiting from this funding.JMO the deputy
