You got that right. I hope voting stupid isn't one of them either.
This Maine casino measure is very similar to the CA one which has proven to be such a bust. The moment you set up the conditions whereby the state has no right of audit (unless permission granted by the tribes), you KNOW the tribes will never allow an audit, and so the tribes can declare: "hey we never made any money" -- not fork over a dime in taxes, and never be challenged with an audit. What a scam!
If you are going to oppose the casino, the least you could do is use an honest valid reason for doing so, rather than posting untruths. You look foolish.
California tribal gaming has more regulation, more oversight, more rules and laws applying to it than any other jurisdiction in the nation.
There are three levels of regulation to California Indian gaming:
The first is the individual tribe’s tribal Gaming Commission. They’re employees of the tribe, but not the casino. The commission’s job includes background checks on employees, licensing key employees and vendors, addressing player disputes and ensuring game integrity. Each tribe’s technical and internal control standards, from accounting to surveillance, must meet NIGC’s minimum standards. Commissioners also must pass background checks.
Next is the state Division of Gambling Control for the California Department of Justice, which reports to the California Attorney General’s Office and is the state gaming enforcement agency. It is permitted access to all tribal casino license applications and can do its own suitability determination of employees.
If the state determines a person is unsuitable, the tribe must immediately dismiss them from employment. If the tribe wants to appeal, it must do so in state court
The tribes essentially granted the state gaming agency veto power over anybody being granted a license.
Also part of the state layer is the California Gambling Control Commission, a policy-making body that operates through the governor’s office.
The final layer is the NIGC, whose functions include running fingerprints and background checks through the FBI and ensuring compliance with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
The bottom line is, Indian Gaming in California is even more heavily regulated than the white people's gaming in Nevada, Atlantic City etc...
But go ahead, keep posting your outrageous falsehoods. I'm sure someone somewhere will believe you.
