Earlier, I posted an observation from a tribal member that the 1/16th blood rule had to be waived in order for David Barnett to be allowed in the Tribe. To me, that's a HUGE yuk.
That means, if that post is to be believed, that ol' dave is, hold on to your hats, 1/32nd Cowlitz!
Just wondering Dave... calling a group of people that make up 1/32nd of your blood, "his people" is, well, as absurd as all of the rest of his lies and misrepresentation. What about the other 31/32nds?
Tut, tut, I digress, fair reader... please forgive me.
HEY DAVE, YOU GET IT YET? WE DON'T WANT YOUR MEGACASINO; YOUR ECONOMY KILLING, RESERVATION-SHOPPED MACHINE HERE... EVEN FROM A WANNABE NATIVE AMERICAN.
Another casino opponent steps up
Thursday, June 16, 2005
By MARGARET ELLIS, Columbian staff writer
Longtime community activist and philanthropist Ed Lynch will hold a press conference this morning to introduce the latest group to oppose the Cowlitz Tribe's request for a reservation near La Center.
It is the third Clark County group to sound an alarm against the tribe's plans to build a casino and 250-room hotel near the La Center exit on Interstate 5. Tribal officials say they expect the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs to decide whether to grant the Cowlitz a reservation there in about a year.
The tribe said it plans to build a casino with a 160,000-square-foot gaming floor. In comparison, the Fred Meyer Salmon Creek store is 165,000 square feet. The casino complex would also have 210,000 square feet of retail space and restaurants, and 150,000 square feet of space for convention rooms and entertainment venues.
Lynch did not return a call Wednesday. His spokesman, Tom Hunt, wouldn't comment on what Lynch planned to say.
