Federal District Court Judge Barbara Rothstein fired an arrow into the heart of the Cowlitz/Paskenta/Mohegan/Barnett gambling scam today and dealt their reservation-shopping scheme a horrific blow.
One has to wonder: how much more is the Mohegan Tribe, which has their own problems bleeding money, willing to waste on the rip off?
We've known all along that this was a scam to locate a huge casino next to Portland. It had nothing to do with "tribal lands," because even the scum running the Cowlitz knew their tribal lands actually are in the vicinity of Vader.
Well done to the legal team and the County for backing this effort.
We're well rid of these slime.
And now the whiners will crawl out from under their rocks and weeeeee like little stuck piggies.
Tough. We dodged a bullet here.

In a stunning victory for Clark County, the city of Vancouver and
other plaintiffs, a federal judge today struck a possibly fatal blow to
the Cowlitz Indian Tribe's plans to build a casino west of La Center.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Jacobs Rothstein reversed herself and tossed out a 2010 Record of Decision, which sends the tribe back to square one. Rothstein dismissed the county's lawsuit against the federal government, which was filed in 2011.
