Seneca president ousted from tribal gaming post

Barry E. Snyder Sr., the president of the Seneca Nation of New York, was removed as chairman of the tribe's gaming corporation in what The Buffalo News said was a "surprise" vote on Friday.

Snyder served as chairman of the Seneca Gaming Corp. since 2004. In the last few months, the corporations' vice chairman resigned amid a federal investigation and the tribe's top gaming lawyer was forced out.

Snyder didn't offer a reason for his removal but said some tribal members are leaking information to the press about the tribe's finances. A preliminary audit turned up some apparently illegal activities under the former vice chairman.

The gaming corporation recently laid off 210 people and halted work on a casino expansion due to the faltering economy.
