Yep, they're going to take the filthy lucre of the white man and use it for lawyers.

They are going to steal with lawyers what was won honorably by the gun....

Even I play golf on Santa Ana Res...

I love it. The 5th hole of 'Star' 9 is tucked up next to the unfinished hotel. I call it the 'Apocalypse Hole' because the hotel is an absolute hulking eyesore of decay.

The Big Chief absconded with 2.3Mil of wampum (from us) and they could never finish the hotel.

When will we learn to stop feeding the dog at the table?

This is one of the reasons tribes will never be successful - that and the fact that they can't get over the infighting amongst themselves long enough to make some really serious headway.

In all reality, if we just give them enough rope, I guarantee they will eventually hang themselves. Let them have their casinos, let them run things the way they want to run them, and quit using my tax dollars to fund them.

Case in point: I worked several years in a casino in So. California, along the banks of Lake Havasu & the Colorado River. The tribe had over 30 miles of shoreline on which to build, and Bally's Gaming saw an opportunity. Bally's paid the tribe $1 million per month for 3-5 months just so the tribe would not consider offers from other gaming companies. Bally's also paid to have surveys done and have complete plans for a gorgeous hotel/casino/water Park/Resort drawn up. The plans were presented to the tribal council who, because of ignorance & infighting, would not finalize plans with Bally. Bally finally wisened up, and backed out. Now no gaming company wants anything to do with them. Morons.
