Letter: Indian casinos wrong revenue path to take

April 15, 2009 - 12:53 AM

Regarding the March 24 letter to the editor, "Indian casinos offer revenue answers."

Indian casinos are operated by a sovereign nation. No tax may be levied unless they agree to be taxed. Indian casinos cannot be sued. I, personally, know of an individual who got injured at an Indian casino. He received no compensation nor could he sue.

All correspondence put out by Indian casinos state, "Management reserves all rights." I interpret that to mean "enter an Indian casino, your rights are gone; you have none."
