I believe this is where were at. It's all about $$$, especially in the rural areas of the state, where the casino's and revenues are small, and living standards are low. With the failing fisheries comes a "Moderate Living". How would that work? I think tribal members would rather obtain a steady paycheck vs working there ass off commercial fishing. The bottom line is having the cash to raise their standard of living. Casino's have helped, fishing hasn't. I can't believe the tribes would want fisheries to fail, but if they can get cash out of it, I think most would. They are in a win win position and us recs are the biggest losers. All the closures prove that. Give them a "Moderate" living, whatever that is. The general taxpayer probably would gladly pay for it, and maybe then the recs might get some opportunities back. $$$ wins every time.
