as bad as it sounds, we need some non-tribal casino lobbyist to come into the state and work their magic. Not only would it be a boost to the tax revenue, but tribal casinos couldn't compete with a real casino. I've been in both at one point or another and the tribal casinos nickel and dime you on everything. While a true casino wants that money in the machines.

as long as the tribes hold the monopoly on the gaming money, they'll be able to buy politicians to push their agenda with an almost limitless source of cash. meaning there won't be any meaningful push for reform on the split or fishing methods from a state or federal level.

That's my opinion though. Honestly I'm not sure if i'll even get my tags this year, I'm thinking I may do my fishing in Idaho or Oregon. I'm tired of spending more & more each year to prop up the tribal and out of state commercials, while getting less opportunities each year in my home waters.
