Oh, lordy, those thought bring sooo much comfort to me... Write Arnie?? I wish, I can't afford to live any where else if my house get mysteriously burnt to the ground... bigger everything... yep, even bigger earthquakes will take place...what will they ever do when the good ole San Andres fault really needs to release the pressure that is building up underneath those precious casino's??

More Slots? More money? They'll be able to grease the palms of more council members,buy the judges and buy themselves newer and bigger trucks,bigger extensions to their houses and personally 'procur' more land,that others can't afford,or have lost BECAUSE they are busy wasting their money by FEEDING the slots! Casinos don't come WITHOUT mobsters and corruption.It's a pre-packed meal!
If you didn't PAY someone to 'count' your vote,you should sleep with a better conscience. Join up with people who feel the same as you,and vote with them instead. Write to Arnie and give him the ole 'what for'! Give 'em hell gardener!
Money SLOT is just another version of Money LOST!

The fix was in...Those precious rich indians knew that if they 'paid off' Arnie (and who ever else) that they would be able to install all the new slots they had in storage. The very next day that their precious props were passed they were already installing the slots. If they didn't know they were going to pass, it would have taken time to order the machines and get them to the casino's. All this makes me sick, why in the hell did I bother to vote? My vote wasn't counted--because I didn't pay anyone to make sure it was counted.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! Boy, I am glad I found this site! I didn't realize the real meaning of "monarchy" until now--it makes more sense to see what is going on here in native land. I could not say the things I have said here in the local in-line news paper--they would delete me for sure! I am kinda glad I can't work for those goons, its hard enough living next door to them. Thanks be that I am heavily armed...and didn't/don't have children..good day, it's back to work.

Hey!how ya rantin'gardener?
Yes! I gather the elitist nepotism has been thriving for donkey's years already,in the tribal Native American system!
Some 'Democracy'eh? Where who you are related to,is more valuable than your own attributes and good character.Regardless of whether your nepotistic line has previously been filled with lunatics,criminals,mobsters etc and you may be a trusted,honourable,'nice'person,and a BONUS TO ALL,in comparison!
Unfortunately,in a historically tribal system,ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD it's always the same.All tribes are "equal" LOL,but SOME consider themselves MORE 'equal'than others! It's an inter-tribal racism,and VERY Monarchical in a way.
They say it is to 'protect the blood-lines'but that's alwys been of crock of ****!
It's merely to protect to and favour ONE DNA branch on an otherwise EQUAL ETHNIC
tree! In other words its no different from incest,WHICH ACUALLY devastates the DNA rather than enriches it for the whole 'tree' To survive.
I doesn't matter if your nephew is a complete LUNATIC! He bears the name,SO HE QUALIFIES TO REAP THE SPOILS! Just like the familial Roman Emporers! LOL!
I wouldn't WANT to work with such people anyway,and it's THEIR LOSS!
Work with those who accept you for the real qualities you have.
They are confusing 'sovereignty'with MONARCHY!
Hey!rant allya like! This is a Democracy!LOL!
And,if you don't exercise your OWN VOICE,they'll just get some stinkin' caucus to SPEAK FOR YOU.Then National Democracy is REALLY dead(it's half dead ALREADY!)

Good morning Grassroots! This really makes me wonder---are there THAT many stupid people out there?? My, but this is a scary thought. So, you aggree with me that those rich tribes that have to show their books will have a "pre-rigged" batch ready?? Do you know that these tribes have nepotistic hiring practices? yep, There's a question on their appl's asking who you're closest relative and name is. If they don't like you're family line (especially a native), then there is no way in hell you can get hired, even if you have all the qualifications for the job and a clean record!! (speaking from personal experience...) Oh, but they are a 'sovern' nation--what a joke-- (forgive my ranting)

darn right gardener,what is WRONG with people!
It's almost as if they VOLUNTARILY lay down,and say,"Hey! bring your dirty shoes over here and WALK ALL OVER ME! Oh!and help yourslf to the money in my pocket,IF THERE'S ANY LEFT!
The auditors will get the pre-rigged books out,wih NO FNGERPRINTS on them,and all those with the CASINO'S will get the 'nice' blankets and all the 'collateral damage' folks will get the infected ones!
And the end of the day it remains what is has always been,ETHNIC CLEANSING of those who refuse to kow-tow to 'heap-big white chief,with big stackum'!
This country's political system is COMPLETELY archaich,disorganised and UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The domestic 'budget'(embezzlement)is treasonous,AND THE FOREIGN/DEFENSE 'embezzlement'is nothing but CRIMINALLY SINFUL!
What really makes me nauseous are all the ODOROUS Senators/Representatives that don't defend their voters(who pay their wages)and COMMAND that they be given their rights!
What makes me SAD are all the citizens who are too scared OR apathetic to DO anything about it! I thought Americans were supposed to be too BRAVE and TOUGH to be walked on?

Wll, It looks like that rich indians get to increase their riches, how wonderful. I wonder when it comes time for them to be audited, which books are they going to show the auditor's? The fix is in folks. And they are going to continue to suck out the money from your pockets and the gas from your cars. The environment will be stressed by the increase of elctricity used. Who's going to pay--the poor working class as usual. But, who cares? As long as the poor mistreated natives get their pay offs---at least some of the natives any way... I hate it when society allows the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer--no matter what ethic race they are...

Good morning all, I do like coming here to voice my thoughts.
I heard on the news that four richest Indian tribes of California have been successful in getting the govenator to endorse their efforts of expansion.
I wonder how much they paid for him(?) Was this is millions or was it in mules? It really sickens me to see these rich tribes lie through their teeth about their operations. Helping the poor tribes with no casino's- ha. It certainly isn't in the half broken down mobile units they call clinics.
It's all about greed, they have obtained billions now they want to go for the trillions. They think they are being sneeky, trying everything possible to keep other tribes from obtaining their rights, but some of us see and some of us know what is actually going on behind the scenes of the so-called casino business that supposedly is helping the economy of California...
