It's Over!

Rumor is that the Mashpee Wampanoags have been visiting all the Massachusetts Senators one by one and insisting that the SCOTUS (Carcieri v Salazar) ruling about land in trust is not going to affect them.....Oh?

.

Carcieri v Salazar is NOT the only case nor is it the more important case that signed the death warrant for ANY and ALL Indian Casinos, not just in Massachusetts, but nationally.

.

Hope may spring eternal, but this endeavor is: over, ended, finis.

.

The Mashpee Wampanoag will not get land into trust nor get a bingo parlor. They don't even own the land.

.

Instead of believing the uninformed media hype perpetuated by lazy journalists who can't risk taxing their brains or doing thoughtful research, check out the SCOTUS decision regarding Hawaii.

.

It's over!

.

Kerzner and Wolman of Twin River bankruptcy fame only pursued the Middleboro Bingo Parlor to gain concessions from the State of Rhode Island for what they wanted -- getting rid of dog racing, expanding hours of operation to 24/7, expanding gaming, reducing RI's percentage, and finally, a full fledged "casino."

.

Kerzner and Wolman spent millions keeping Harrahs's out of RI. What's a pittance to keep the Mashpee Wampanoag out of MA?

.

The link for the Hawaii case, including articles is here: Maybe it's time for an attorney?

.

No investor will invest millions for a commercial casino for a Tribe. T'aint gonna happen! There are no tax advantages, escape from state regulations and laws.

.

And the Middleboro Monster? Wrong location! Too many infrastructure improvements. Too much against it.

.

Say "Bye! Bye!"
