Brockton, Mass., is known as the birthplace of boxing legend Rocky Marciano. But with U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren pushing for a $1 billion Native American casino less than 20 miles away, struggling blue-collar Brockton's competing casino bid might not stand a fighting chance.
Brockton Mayor William Carpenter slammed Warren's bill on behalf of the Masphee Wampanoag tribe, which would override a federal judge's decision last year to block the tribe's plan for a luxury gaming resort in East Taunton.
He says Warren seems to be acting on behalf of special interests instead of people like Brockton's struggling residents.

Your bribe wasn’t big enough, Mr. Mayor. Fauxcahontas is all about the wampum.

Warren’s bill on behalf of the Masphee Wampanoag tribe, which would override a federal judge's decision last year to block the tribe’s planSounds like the town's got a pretty good chance.
Fauxcahontas needs to get a federal bill passed to build the Indian casino. So it's got to get through Congress and be signed by Trump.

Anyone who thinks that Massachusetts Rat politicians are even within a million light years of ethical must still believe in Santa Claus.

“Warren seems to be acting on behalf of special interests”...….
Big money and heavy political donations will do that. Here in Central Wisconsin there are several tribes who operate numerous casinos and make heavy political donations.

Isn’t it illegal to offer a bribe? Not if it is in the form of a campaign contribution.

Follow the wampum, White Boy.
