The tribal council of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians of Michigan voted 4-3 to remove two members from the gaming board of directors.
The council removed Dollie Keway and Fred Kiogima in a surprise vote, The Petoskey News-Review reported. Tribal elders had spoken in favor of the board at a council meeting on Sunday, the paper said.
Keway said the vote reflects tensions between the board and chairman Ken Harrington. She says Harrington has been interfering in the hiring process for a general manager at the Odawa Casino Resort.
Three members remain on the board.
