Good post Travis. About the best place to find Indian gaming news is at http://www.pechanga.net/ This site features daily internet news updates and while mainly centered on Indian gaming, other American casino news gets coverage also.

In direct relation to your comments is an article linked at that site to the local fishwrap about one of the area's pending Indian casinos. The article informs of the local and state governments b*tching to Gail Norton and the rest of the Fed alphabet agencies about lack of input from regional elected kings, queens, potentates and other halo'ed demi-divinities. Sheesh, they're getting treated just like local and state taxpayers!
