IRA'S SAL Legislators skeptical of Spokane Tribe’s gambling plan OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - A proposed Spokane Tribe of In dians gambling agreement is unfair to other tribes and rep resents a major expansion of tribal gaming, skeptical legisla tors say. The Eastern Washington tribe is asking the state and fed eral government to end more than a decade of legal chal lenges and approve the gaming compact, which would make the Spokanes one of the state’s larg est casino operators. Tribal secretary Gerald Nicodemus told lawmakers the agreement allowing as many as 4,700 slot-style machines at five sites would be a good deal for both the tribe and region. “This compact will be our best chance to impact our tribe’s future in a significant and his toric way,” Nicodemus told House and Senate members on Tuesday. The state gambling commis sion has scheduled a public hearing on the proposed agree ment Feb. 9 in Olympia. The compact needs approval of the commission, Gov. Chris Grégoire and the federal gov ernment. Lawmakers said the proposal would be a dramatic expansion of the $1.2 billion Indian gam ing industry in the state. The Spokane tribe is the only gambling tribe that has not ne gotiated an agreement with the state. State and federal officials contend Nevada-style slot ma chines in the tribe’s casinos are illegal. The proposed compact “re wards illegal operations and en courages a tremendous expan sion of gambling,” said Sen. Jim Honeyford, R-Sunnyside. Sen. Margarita Prentice, D- Renton, predicted that many of the 27 tribes that have gaming compacts with the state will op pose the Spokanes’ compact. “I think they’ll be really angry, be cause they are now,” she said. The plan is a sign of a “new and positive relationship” be tween the state and tribe, Nicodemus said. Casino rev enues would pay for better edu cation for the tribe’s children, better health care for its elders and a diversified reservation economy, he said. Current law allows each tribe to have a total of 675 slot-style machines. Larger tribes can in crease that number by leasing machines from smaller tribes.
