MAYETTA: Larry Mzhickteno took the oath of office today as a member of the Gaming Commission in a short ceremony held at the Bingo Hall. He joins Gary Mitchell and Rey Kitchkumme who are other members of the commission.
Mzhickteno won his seat in a Run-Off Election that was held Aug. 24 by beating Jancita Warrington for the position.
Mzhickteno said that he was looking forward to continuing his work on the Gaming Commission and that he was pleased that the tribal membership had given him the vote of confidence to re-elect him to the position.
