Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority board chair still in limbo

Friday, September 16, 2011

The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority has yet to reinstate Kirk Goodtrack as chairman of the board.

SIGA said it would abide by a court ruling that said Goodtrack was improperly ousted. But he remains in limbo until a September 29 meeting.

Goodtrack, who is an attorney, said he was ousted for seeking more accountability. Some Native leaders say he has a conflict of interest because he represents Native clients with claims against First Nations casinos.
