Tribes can make a lot of money without a compact. The Florida Seminole Tribe bought the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino chain in late 2006 for $1 billion--financed entirely by class II slots--because the state of FL had negotiated in bad faith and the courts had (at least temporarily) struck down the "bad faith" provision of the IGRA. So, North Fork can break ground on a casino, with the type(s) of gambling to be determined as the process works itself out. Jerry Brown's admin and Madera County totally want the revenue stream that would be generated from this endeavor. The proverbial ball will end up in the DoI Secretary's court...Kenneth Hansennoreply@blogger.com
