I'm not against a casino at all and if Wayland wants one and gets one good for them. What I think sucks is that there are two sets of laws. One for Native Americans and one for the rest of us.

Native Americans still have the same laws as regular citizens. However, on reservations (since they are federal land) everything is basically a felony. I go to a reservation every weekend and I see how terribly these people are suffering. It breaks my heart.

I'm all for it. Despite the cries of the GRDDC it won't take away their business.
Go fuck yourself. Hard.

Actually I meant that in a good way, but may have said it wrong. Reservations shouldn't be federal land but Indian land. Also things that are not felonies otherwise shouldn't be felonies on Indian land. On the other hand if Casinos are legal for Indians to own they should be legal for the rest of us as well. I do feel bad that our Indian population has suffered so badly over the years and i hope their casino does well.

We need a casino in downtown G-Rap. I can't be bothered to drive more than 15 minutes to blow my bankroll.

I honestly don't care. If it really helps the tribe and not just a few high-up members, that's great.

I noticed some small debate over how laws work on tribal land. I am not sure how it works overall, but for gambling here is the process: The tribes make their own gambling regulations, which are then reviewed by the state. If the state agrees to this they enter a compact with the state basically saying "The tribe allows and disallows this, and the state government allows them to define these regulations as such".
The state will never actually draft any laws in regards to gambling, its all made up by the tribes, and the state just signs it. Therefore a state can ban gambling, and still allow tribal gaming.
The only problem I foresee is the overabundance of casinos in the next few years. They have started building one just east of Battle Creek too.
