The Chippewa Cree Tribe of Montana plans to hold a special election to fill the chairman's post.

The tribal council voted on Monday to remove Ken Blatt St. Marks from office. He's disputing the charges but the tribe plans to move forward without him.

St. Marks was accused of employee harassment, sexual harassment, financial misconduct, unauthorized expenditures and illegal employment practices. He contends he was targeted because he has encouraged federal agencies to investigate corruption on the reservation
