SGC Official Resigns

The vice chairman of the Seneca Gaming Corporation has resigned amid allegations of a shady deal involving a land purchase. 35-year-old Bergal Mitchell III is at the center of a federal investigation into the $2.1 million land purchase by the Seneca Gaming Corp. for a new golf course in Lewiston. Mitchell sent a letter of resignation to the Seneca Tribal Council prior to its meeting Saturday, when the council was expected to fire him. Mitchell's attorney said his client had asked to take an unpaid leave of absence while the investigation is under way. Federal officials have refused to comment on what happened to an amount of money between $500,000 and $900,000 that sources say may have been skimmed from the purchase of land for the Hickory Stick golf course in Lewiston.
