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.
