The second ” robo call ” went out Sunday and Monday to tribal members, reporters, the governor’s office and various in-sundry federal officials. The call urged tribal members to attend the Sunday meeting and dispute the $386.5 million request from Shovel Ready Ceddie and the Woebegones…begging Arkana for between $50 – $100m. The rest you may recall is supposed to come from the banks. The bulk of the money goes to the laundromat or the Gaming Authority which is basically a separate tribe, but in our name none the less. Trouble is we have no vote or authority to stop the Woebegone gravy train.
Things are heating up so much Genting may want to scrap the tribe that’s generating a lot of negative press that could upend its major plans in Florida and Las Vegas. The federal government is not real fond of corruption.The PR firm that is assigned to the MWT, Regan, has already assigned a flack to Florida for the real gaming fight. With so much controversy here, all Regan does is offer ” No comment, ” on behalf of the befuddled Shovel Ready Ceddie. After all what can he say? What is the proper response? There is no response… but that comes with the guilty brand that SRC has born for a long time.
There’s more to come to the chagrin of the Woebegones. But SRC issued a memo telling staff and council members that they should look forward to a “very prosperous year in 2015.” Wow. The guy’s either a comedian or a demon.
