Comments on: Indian gambling shows its true colors https://thecrawfordfamily.net/blog/?p=87 My personal/Catholic blog Sat, 08 Oct 2011 01:31:23 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.0.38 By: Cameron https://thecrawfordfamily.net/blog/?p=87#comment-117 Thu, 03 Nov 2005 20:49:25 +0000 http://thecrawfordfamily.net/blog/?p=87#comment-117 Please retract the first paragraph of my statement. I was looking at the Campagn statement for those Against Measure G.
They contributed $60,000 against the measure.

Either way I’m not in favor of it. The land is not Indian Reservation land. I fully support the tribes being able to do what they want on their own land but to build a casino on the land that was supposed to be for the NASCAR race track is just the developer looking for a new way to make money. I voted in favor of the race track by the way and would still like to see it built.

If it were tribal land I would feel differently about it, but it is not. It sets a bad precedence to allow the tribes to buy land and call it a reservation to get around California laws. What’s next brothels and drugs?

(not that I’m in favor of Indian gaming either) It’s about self reliance of the Thunder Valley People. They know if the other tribe gets a casino closer to Sacramento, they’ll lose money and then subsequently loose their casino, then they’ll open up another casino even closer to Sacramento, then the other tribe will open up a 16 lane super highway with no stops between Sacramento and their casino and they’ll have to destroy some little nobody town between Sac and their casino to do it… see Ken, it’s really about self reliance of *their* tribe. No one else’s… theirs.
