Once again, you keep mentioning fees that Indian gaming concerns pay in other states, but fail to address the issue of them paying direct fees to the state in addition for healthcare, schools and other items. Here you did alude to that stating that you supported the state renegotiating additional fees. I agree with you there.

I think it should be reasonable. I'm not looking to soak anyone. Frankly, I'd rather see our state get it's fiscal house in order so it could drasticly reduce all fees, those to the Indian tribes as well.

Well, perhaps the state should have negotiated better. Maybe next time around, you will.


That being said, the state (as far as I know) doesn't fund schools or healthcare on the reservation, so why should the reverse be true? ;0)
