The sovereign Tribal Nations are encouraging the state to allow satellite casinos not on tribal land, isn't that annexation? They say that jobs would be saved and new ones added. What quality of jobs? How about manufacturing, medical, or farming jobs?

I would rather see jobs that would support generation after generation of workers, long-range jobs. I have read that committees need to move fast to get more casinos in the works; let's really study and ask taxpayers and voters what they think! Once again, I do not believe the people are being asked what they think. Other ideas aren't being explored and elected officials are not finding out what their constituents would like. I urge everyone to contact their representatives and let them know what you think. I believe the future of our great state depends on it.
