Oh no, I NEVER said anything LIKE that!  The individual Tribal Members are 
benefitting greatly.  Even MORE greatly, considering their economic status 
before Foxwoods.  I would imagine few, if any, even owned their own houses.
 BT> R U saying that the Federal Government is running FOXWOODS?
PLEASE read what I SAY, not what you want to interpret my words as.  In the 
US Constitution, it is expressly stated that the Federal Government is the 
SOLE agent for dealings with the various Indian tribes.  The states are NOT 
so empowered.  (I believe it's article 25, but you could look it up.)

Exactly.  I know of a few tribal members working at the casino, but none of 
them are dealers.  Dealers there are mostly local people, as you say, just 
trying to make a living.
 BT> What really goes on behind the scene is not available to
 BT> the public.
Actually, the local paper, the NL Day, is in almost constant hot water with 
the Tribe, MAKING the scenes behind the scenes available to the public.  Not 
NEARLY all of what goes on is available to the public, but the paper tries.
