Letter: Oppose Spokane Tribe's off-reservation casino project

"Opponents of the Spokane Tribe’s proposed casino complex on Highway 2 need to get louder. Sensible people need to shout next at Gov. Jay Inslee. This, though, is what his campaign said during the election cycle: “Jay believes Native American communities know what is best for their people. That’s why he has stood up for tribal sovereignty over the years and supports policies to enhance tribal self-determination and meaningful tribal consultation.” Did the campaign declare this to get the Native American vote and money?

We need to strongly advise on this issue. Inslee may be a big hurdle for reasonable citizens who do not think the Spokanes need a casino 1.5 miles from Fairchild Air Force Base to lure airmen."
