Did Denise use her position to get her mom a nice fat check for 20 minutes of work? The following is the contract with Carol Juneau made back in 2001. The contract was to speak at a luncheon conference sponsored by OPI and the Indian education for all program.
The interesting item is that Carol Juneau was a Legislator from Browning and Denise was running OPI’s Indian Education for all programs at the time of this contract. Do you think that Denise was able to use her position to get her mom the job? On top of this corruption, all of this was done under the careful watchful eye of our beloved Linda McCulloch (thanks Linda).
Just a reminder, this is the same Carol Juneau that intimidating her fellow Native Americans how to vote by handing out green voter cards illegally by handing out political propaganda at the entrance of the polling place in Browning. I sure hope that Denise Juneau isn’t going to give any other sweetheart deals way to her cronies

Political cronyism and patronage politics reservation style. This is what we have become used to here in Glacier County. The daughter’s position as director of Indian Education For All was made possible by the mother’s legislative efforts on the issue in the first place. (can you say political payoff)
This is actually quite the normal way of doing business up here. Example: Jim Baker, while administering Project Challenge (another back to work program) for the AFL-CIO funneled over $30,000 to his step daughter. His wife Jeri, was head of the local State Of Montana Job Service office. The money for Project Challenge came from, you guessed it, the State of Montana. After this debacle came to light, Jim got suspended and the State cancelled their program funding. Jeri quit the State and moved into the same position for the tribe at their Manpower Office.
If Denise Juneau becomes State Superintendant of Schools, this activity most likely will increase. The pattern has already been set.
