"In light of the state Legislature's feckless support for problem gamblers, the willingness of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe to donate $350,000 for treatment is nice. Not overwhelming, but welcome.
Try to find a parking space at the tribe's casino near Auburn on a Saturday afternoon. The place is packed. Indeed, the casino is busy enough the tribe is investing $20 million in a 2,700-space parking garage.
Let's see, $350,000 is about 1.75 percent of the cost of a garage that will pay handsome dividends. Don't call them parking stalls, they are parking slots."
