More details are emerging in the Millionaire Chief story, and it doesn’t look good for million dollar man Ron Giesbrecht. Today’s National Post has some new nuggets:

• A band member alleges Giesbrecht knew a big payday was coming, so he jumped in as “economic development officer.”
• “Once we get a forensic audit, it will come out that Ron knew about this before he took the job on,” band member Ron Jackman said.
• Post: “According to band members contacted by the National Post, they were not aware that Chief Giesbrecht or Ms. Aleck had been entitled to 10% of all new projects. The provision was quietly struck out of the economic development officer contract in April.”
• Neither of the band’s two other councillors knew about the economic development officer commission deal, or that Giebrecht got the dough.
• Jackman is trying to oust the chief, and offering his name as a replacement:
  “Unusually for Kwikwetlem reserve politics, Mr. Jackman said he has garnered support from Chief Giesbrecht’s own family. ‘One of his aunties actually broke down and cried … family members tell me they don’t care if he’s related; if he took the money, that’s wrong,’ he said.
• On Wednesday, band members will hold a meeting to officially call for Giesbrecht’s resignation.
• If Giesbrecht hangs on, 49% of the 81 band members will need to sign a petition to force a leadership vote.
• The Province refuses to release any details of the $8 million it paid the Kwikwetlem.
• The band has hired a public relations firm to help them. (Or to help Giesbrecht? Who is controlling the chequebook these days?)
