Committee that "a small group of an gaming at all kw3T^mld have ? pre vied upon the National Governors Association to reject its own tnbal-sttte talks to a virtual standstill ?Sadly" said Hill, "the first ?. proposal advanced by the times came v oa May 16. one day before the upcoming critical hearing to be conducted by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee today and nearly two mooths after the tribes submitted a proposal to the states which the tribes believed reflected a number of .- concepts upon which the slates and ? tribes agreed. Having diaegarded the . discourse of Ave meetings where actual negotiations occurred, having discounted every reasonable recommendation advanced by the professionals, the states after 13 . months have come forward with a r proposal that could have been written before they met with the tribes." Hill also said, "this is a clear ;. affront to the tnbes, the Senators, and this entire process We are left again with the observation of Senator ? McCain who so aptly noted that the states feel what is theirs is theirs and what the tnbes have is negotiable " ' Hill noted that an agreement reached in principle by a broadly . representative state/tribal negotiating group closely tracked the Supreme Court s posriKm in its 1987 Cabnaoo imrtcrtsrir gaming ?? tnbnl lands i t the date public policy permits those KOvnet within its borders. Stales have used a vanety of legal tactics lo avoid entering into compacts wish tribesas provided m the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act mnrvri in 1988. "It *pean". said Hill, that Usees hareoonouuc competition from tribal gaming." "States cannot, through rhetoric and jjobucal arm of technology to themselves, and seek to keep tribes hi the dark ages - no deal." Hill asserted Hill outlined a aeries of proposals. on the pari of tribes" and urged the Committee to consider them when drafting 1GRA amendments These include: A several step test to determine whether a particular game is eligible for inclusion in a tribal staae compact; Having tribes negotiate compacts directly with the Secretary of the Interior, unless a state formally requests to enter into negotiations by voluntarily waiving its immunity from suit and negotiating in good faith within a set time frame The National Indian Gaming Association, established in 1985, is a noo profit organization of 97 tribes 1 engaged in gaming enterprises around the country.

IfLum Edwards is elected, we will continue with the Stone Age. Must we be reminded of bow Stone and Company feels about Indians and Blacks. 1 pray that our memory is not short lived as to how they feel about and have treated Indianaover the years. I ask everyone who can vote in this election to go and vote for change hisnowtimc for Indians and Blarhs to put differences aside and put forth a united effort to elect Glenn Mavoor Sheriff for the betterment of all of Robeson County I my to those who supported t ff Stmptfr put aside personalities andthiafc about the tature of our children. Glenn Maynor is electable and I believe he will make a good sheriff for two reasons: < 11 The ? ?HI 1 U._ /,L?. I WDIIC5 Will KCtp UUJI UMKi vivas scrutiny-and (2) the people who elect him will be looking for an expecting achange This is a golden opportunity for minorities in this county 1 urge everyone of you who can vote to get out and vote for Glenn. Contrary to what many whites seem to think, a muvtrit- *mwi haivtl* lli? inh K dwiff and do a better job than what has been done in the last 16 years. Think about this: most of the murders in Robeson County that have o? S5?s dCfUtBMt investigation on its OM has not proves iom coaapstant to sotuemwdars. That is wtmwe have hod m the Stone Age. Now I a* yon, direction? Remember the aome of the whiles warn change, but they doo't want an Indian to lie that change, lam awe they have a plan and that is fcr Lorn Edwacds to win the nm oft They also have a back up ia Janes Sanderson, the Rerwbbcan. The idea ia that if Glenn Maynor Inaea, Indiani willjet upset and vole fcr Sanderson. The whiles can't elect a sheriff without Indian and Black support, la order to elect Sanderson the whites have to have Indian support and dmy know that traditionally ia County have not voted against the Democratic Party. They dao know that if Glenn Maynor is elected May 31st, he will be the sheriff Again 1 urge you to get to the polls and vote for Glenn Maynor.
