The tribes are the ones pocketing the casino money for the most part. Now they want to keep the sales tax collected on the rez..the newest example is in Marysville. The new Tulalip casino looks like the MGM Grand and next to it is an industrial development with Home Depot and other big tenants.. The state comes up short again. No rant against the Tulalips though as they actually are doing alot of good for the citizens of their "nation".
What bugs me the most is that the State of Washington acts like a socialist country. Give and give and give to those you contribute the least and take take take from those who contribute the most. The democratic politicians gather alot of voters to their fold by following the Democratic Golden Rule:

" Rob Peter to pay Paul...and Paul will always be your friend"....

I like the other golden rule: "He who has the gold..makes the rules"
