What's at stake for tribes? Doesn't sound like that can be good. Cue a bunch of unrelated dead grandmother stories with tantrums for no taxes and head starts.

I think the first video would have been stronger if it was a short clip, but it echos my thoughts well and is pretty similar to a video I would have posted. Kudos.

Senate committee hearing now? Sounds pretty good to me. The issue is definitely getting a lot of attention these days. In the house everything seems very positive. Hopefully this hearing has a similar feel.
