Republican Governors Assoc ad about tribal negotiations


The following is from Wikipedia's section on Christine Gregoire:

"In October 2005, Gregoire sent a letter to the state's Gambling Commission recommending that it renegotiate a compact with the Spokane Native American tribe it had submitted for approval. The original compact would have allowed the tribe and any other tribe that signed on to the compact to have off-reservation gambling facilities, increase the number of slot machines allowed to 7,500, operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, removed betting limits for some card players, and give credits to high rollers in exchange for sharing the profits from gambling with state and local governments.[42] It was opposed by many of the state's lawmakers of both parties and by anti-gambling groups that were concerned about the spread of gambling across the state as well as other Native American tribes.[42] The renegotiated compact, which was signed by the Spokane and 26 other Washington tribes, was signed by Gregoire in early 2007 and eliminated the revenue sharing and off-reservation facilities, but included an increase of allowed slot machines to 4,700 with a limit of 2,000 per location, increased the betting limit of some of its slot machines to $20, and allowed high-stakes gambling on blackjack and poker tables to players that pass financial screening and aren't known problem gamblers. The tribe also agreed to donate 2 percent of the gross revenue from table games and 1 percent from gambling devices to charity.[43]"

Gregoire is a good ol' boy


It's obvious that Christine Gregoire is a good ol boy politician that needs to be sent home. Washington lags behind so many other states and we need real fiscal leadership- not more of the same tax and spend policies from Gregoire!

I don't live in Washington


I don't live in Washington State but this lady looks like a crook to me from what all I've read about her.
