In the State of Washington, the Feds are very much involved in the process of trying to make the tribes get rid of the illegal machines. Their tactic, though, is to try to make the State and the tribes negotiate, as required by law. (i.e. States must negotiate casino gambling agreements with tribes under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988. ) The problem here has been that when the State has not gotten the sort of agreement they want, they simply stop talking to the tribes. Apparently there is uncertainty as to what rights the tribes have after that. Lacking an agreement with the State, and failing good faith negotiations by the State, can the tribes simply continue to run the machines? The feds here are acting like they would much prefer to have the State and the tribes reach a settlement rather than the feds having to start legal action. Reno's behavior suggests to me that this is the nation-wide approach to the problem. This is just my take on what's going on. George E.
