Rich: SB is right, at least about the chances of changing the Boldt Decision. This had nothing to do with who was in the white house, or Govenor’s office.

Slade, who was an able attorney, fought that like the devil and lost.

I do not believe there is anyway any politician will want to retry that and furthermore I see no way any Supreme Court justices will overturn it.

(Do any of you with long memories remember by what margin we lost when we went to the Supreme Court? That would be interesting to know.).

Our only hope is to force the tribes to live up to the agreement. We need better enforcement, better reporting and perhaps some tweaking of laws, and negotiated allotment adjustments, but we will not live long enough to see Boldt overturned.
