Huh...

A former Dot Lake tribal president has been sentenced to three years probation under the terms of a plea agreement reached in January.
Ted Charles, 62, who was also a Tanana Chiefs Conference administrator, additionally was required to repay the Dot Lake Village Council $28,877 in restitution and pay a $1,000 fine.
At the sentencing hearing Friday morning in Fairbanks, U.S. District Judge Ralph Beistline said Charles’ embezzlement was especially serious because he had been elected to a position of responsibility, according to a U.S. Justice Department news release. However, Beistline said Charles cooperated with investigators and paid his restitution expeditiously.
Charles stole the money from the Dot Lake Village Council beginning in 2007 through “undocumented ATM withdrawals and debit card purchases, unauthorized travel expenditures and per diem claims,” according to court documents.
Dot Lake, which had 62 residents in the 2010 U.S. Census, is located on the Alaska Highway about 140 miles southeast of Fairbanks.

"These people are republicans and in charge of alot of cash...this is a serious crime and should be handled as that. This is a slap in the face of every honest native person out there. Paid admin leave? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME...184,00 per year?? OMG..what is going on up there at TCC??
How do we get ahold of the Feds and ask for an investigation??
Let's do it..and Doyon should be investigated also. They have thefts to the tune of 100's of thousands of dollars from their own employees and DO NOT FILE CHARGES!!
Is this kind of abuse in every native organization?? Are there any honest native leaders in this town??"
