PNW......Accusations or not your points of view always have been leaning towards an apologist's role for the tribes. Mine usually take the tribes to task for wanton abuse of our resources in the name of treaty rights. That's ok but we just need to see which axe you are grinding. Your connection to the tribe is not obvious but it is there somewhere. That's fine but you should admit it so your opinions can be understood with the appropriate grain of salt.

I suspect !-892 is something of a weapon to knock the tribes down a notch rather than a real serious tax reduction measure. We cannot seem to negotiate "fair play" so maybe hardball is in order? We have an explosion of gambling in this state now so saying opposing I-892 will stop that expansion is somewhat of a fantasy. Without I-892 all the expansion will contunue to come from indian country.
