On March 31 Reel Wamps said the Massachusetts Gaming Commission would agenda the Region C license issue and would probably open the bidding process….yesterday they indicated that they would do just that. All the indicators pointed to this result. We don’t need to relive the painful events and missteps that lead to this dead end.
One thing we failed to point out was an important point made by blogger carverchick. Tribal attorney Howard Cooper anticipated the open bidding decision and was already challenging the authority of the MGC. Funny, he wasn’t challenging it when he was working with the state to get the gaming license. As things went south, he started looking at legal challenges to the Commission decision.
Well, based on our disastrous participation in the process, it’s doubtful that the MWT is considered any kind of threat to commercial gaming in Massachusetts. But you better believe the lawyers are going to keep getting paid for more flaky legal challenges. And all tribal members have to look forward to is a $30 a month food card.
Cedric is frantically trying to pass a budget right now to get that last infusion of money to keep paying himself, the lawyers TahTah, Jessie and a host of others before the boot drops. That’s if Genting sends it. There are a bunch of people on the tribal payroll who are being paid by Genting. So you can expect the cannibalization over jobs to begin shortly.
We have been preyed upon by the fringe tribal members who are Mashpee in name only and lead by a so called chairman who wasn’t even on the tribal roll. We don’t deserve this.
