.... Re Fred Lebrun Says

"At the moment, Turning Stone Casino in Verona is operating totally outside the law as its application to have needed land put into trust status is pending before Kempthorne. The piece of property with the casino and all those fancy building on it is six miles from the actual 32-acre Oneida reservation, an easy commute but not actually part of the reservation. Sounds to me like Kempthorne is preparing us for the Oneidas' successful annexation of this property to their reservation, and appropriately so.

All that would remain then is for the state Legislature to approve a gaming compact, and Turning Stone -- a proven economic force for a region that really does need help -- would be back in business legally."

I agree Mr. Lebrun but not the "appropiately so" remark

Why is it "appropiately so", The reward for illegality is more reward !

If TS casino is a proven economic force why is our governor going to send in a billion dollars ? An economic force is not a class III indian gaming casino with all its huge profits that has eliminated and taken over the economic power in a small rural area of CNY. Give a person tax free status to run a business, corperation or factory and a genuine economic force that follows the rule of law will create the right environment for progress.

ANNEXCT! Sir: in the claim area, They already have purchased thousands of tax free acres! Genuine economic force, For Who !

UCE has filed a lawsuit to challenge, among other things, the U.S. DOI's determination to take over 13,000 acres of land into trust for the Oneida Indian Nation of New York. In contemplation of the commencement of this action UCE's Attorney and President David Vickers has obtained a pre-litigation stay of the determination to take land into trust pending the hearing and determination of the lawsuit from Steven Miskinis, Esq. at the U.S. Department of Justice.
