It's kinda funny, now that I-892 failed and the Tribes don't have to compete with tax paying non-tribal casinos' slots---They don't seem to be as concerned with the expansion of 'Evil' gambling.

Has anyone seen a Tribe sponsered 'Concerned Moms Against Gambling' commercial warning us about the 'Evils' of gambling in the last two weeks?

I haven't.

But oddly enough, since I-892 was defeated--I have seen several commercials inviting me to 'Come have a great time' at Muckelshoot and Tualip Casinos....

I guess gambling is only 'Evil' enough to have Tribe sponsered 'Concerned Moms Against Gambling' commercials on TV and Radio 24 hours a day warning us about the 'Evils' of gambling when some of it may possibily be done off the reservations and 35% of the profits would lower everyones property taxes. When the Tribes get to keep ALL the Tax Free profits from gambling r themselves.... it's 'Come have a great time.'
