Tribe Sues Paper Over Casino Editorials

Submitted by SMartinup, Feb 21, 2008 17:16

Wasn't the intent of the founding fathers to prevent government abuse? Isn't it fair to say that the people of New York State, and especially those who reside in the neighborhood of the St. Regis Mohawk tribe, have the right to know about "deals" that the government in Albany makes with groups whose history, is undoubtably questionable!

The post simply stated what is obvious to those who live in this neighborhood, and attempted to make it common knowledge to those who aren't forced to drive around the reservation during one of their "lockdown" attempts.

Thank you New York Post for sharing and printing what many of us wish we could, without being fearful of retalitation worse than a lawsuit!
