Trust me slabquest the Tulalip net fishermen are not making any "lucrative" profits from their local net fisheries. However, they can make a decent buck netting sockeye in the San Juans but very few of the fishermen have boats big enough to handle the fishery.

I have a feeling the tribal dealers make more than $12 per hour.

Really I don't know why are we whining about the casinos. Ten to twenty years ago we were wishing Tribal members would get jobs, lay of of alchohol, and stop sponging off of welfare. So now that the tribes appear to have turned the corner, we whine that they've become too self-independent and wealthy, meanwhile providing jobs to many tribal members?

I don't get it? beathead
