sorry PNW if your remarks reprised an old accusation but you really do sound very much on the side of the tribes on this one and that is fine. Being against the excesses afforded the tribes does not make me a KKK member. It makes me similar to a big majority of fishers who are sick of the growing super citizenship afforded the tribes. I-892 is not that desirable but is one way to start levelling the playing field. Take a trip to indian country (if you don't already live there) and check out what the huge windfall of cash has done for the average tribal member. Not much. Sure there is a boom in construction...check out the crews...maybe a couple of tribal members standing around in hard hats for window dressing because the contract requires it but for the most part the workers are non-indian. I suspect if the tribes were on the same playing field as everyone else they might just excel all by themselves. The BIF hand out system has been a dismal failure and that's a fact.
