Most of you folks on this thread crack me up.
Deals between State government and large organizations are done everyday. Influence peddling is as common a feature of our legislative and executive branches of government as rain in Forks. Big corporations have been getting tax breaks for a loooong time. When Boeing moved their headquarters to Chicago, WA State about had a cow so they offered up something like a billion in tax cuts (over so many years) to them. Were you yelling for an investigation then? I doubt it. I suppose its OK for the CEO of some big a$$ corporation to get something for that $250k they contributed to XYZ's political campaign but surely we can't allow the same thing for them tribes... why, that's just un-American!
Here the tribes are "movin' on up" and getting the kinds of resources that get people's attention, and they cut themselves a big fat deal and all of the sudden...
INVESTIGATION needed.... them tribes are screwing us agian.
Right... most of you need to wake up and smell the java.
The tribes have figured out how the real world works and they are playing the game like the big boys play it... now you want to change the rules? Think about it.
