Tribal business CFO resigns Cherokee official steps down after remarks over business loss By Donna HalesPhoenix Staff Writer He wrote if officials couldn’t handle the truth, they needed a new CFO at CNI.
“I will not be a party to rewriting the Muskogee Phoenix article (July 28), as directed by our chairman, David Ballew, or possibly even the chief. I stand by what I said 100 percent,” Reynolds wrote July 31. Reynolds also wrote he was there to “clean this mess up” but would neither hide documents nor lie. Ballew, through Miller, earlier denied asking Reynolds to change his comments to councilors, saying a CNI official merely asked Reynolds to make sure any statements about CNI in the Phoenix article were correct. In response to Reynolds resignation, CNI Acting CEO Bryan Collins issued a written statement Tuesday that CNI has more than 35 years of proud success behind it, “and we think the best years are ahead of us. It is unfortunate that Mr. Reynolds has chosen not to be part of that success and growth.” Reynolds’ resignation letter said he found very few highly experienced business people in the Cherokee Nation. “It is my hope that the Nation will take some of their excess cash and provide for education so that this can be changed,” he wrote. “The amount of money they have and the lack of (business) experience they have astounds me — it really does,” Reynolds said.
