FINALLY!
NAVAJO NATION
JOINS THE REST
$$$

After years of opposition to the concept of building Casinos on Navajo land, they've finally succumbed and voted to back a $100 million-dollar credit line to open up 6 of them......the first 2 of which, will be in Gallup and in Flagstaff.

Because of the CA fires, I started to check on casinos in California, and discovered that there now are more than 50 Indian Tribes maintaining more than 50 gaming casinos, overthere.

These Gambling Casinos (in case you've never been in one) are sort of like mini-tourist-centers and shopping-mall/entertainment destinations. They provide the people who live in small surrounding towns with a place to go, and create a solid base of income for the Indian Tribes that run them.

I don't care for Casinos myself, but think that they've provided a perfect and secure source of income for the Tribes that maintain them. There's one in my area, and everybody goes there. At the end of each year, they gift university scholarships to a group of students throughout the area, which I think is kinda really cool!
