Audit reveals millions misspent by tribal legislator
Man behind inquiry comes under scrutiny.

Instead, the audit found money was misspent only by the two tribes' legislative branch.

Although the $8.8 million wasn't spent according to a federally approved revenue allocation plan, it ultimately went toward tribal government programs, auditors found. At the time, Wilson was the tribes' interim treasurer.

Gov. Darrell Flyingman said the audit report proved that the tribes' executive branch "is running an honest government, that we're accountable and following federal guidelines.”

Flyingman said when he heard last August that some political rivals wanted the audit, he made the same request.

"I welcomed it,” he said.

So why would legislators seek an audit that would expose their own apparent misdeeds?

"They're idiots,” Flyingman said Tuesday. "I'm baffled.”

Wilson said he asked the National Indian Gaming Commission for a copy of the audit report but was told they would send one only to Flyingman. He said Flyingman hasn't responded to his request for one.

As for Flyingman's statement that some legislators are "idiots,” Wilson said: "I don't think that's true.

"I still believe to this day that there's wrongdoing. He knows it and I know it,” Wilson said.
