ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO, BROKENWING EDITORIALS AND FEATHER NEWS, STARTED ASKING FOR THE SAME QUESTION. WE HAVE ASKED FOR THE COST OF LEASING SLOT MACHINES AT POCONO DOWNS.
WE HAVE ASKED MOST OF THE NINE MEMBERS OF THE TRIBAL COUNCIL (MTGA). WE ASKED FOR THE AVERAGE COST PER MONTH, PER MACHINE. WE WERE TOLD THAT WAS HARD TO DO BECAUSE OF LEASES, RENTALS, AND THAT WE OWN SOME OF THE MACHINES. THE TRIBAL COUNCIL MEMBERS KEEP SAYING, WE WILL FIND OUT AND GET BACK TO YOU.
SO THEN WE JUST SAID, GIVE US THE TOTAL PRICE FOR THE MONTH AND WE WILL COMPARE THAT WITH OTHER FIGURES FOR POCONO DOWNS FOR THE SAME MONTH. WE FIGURE THIS SHOULD BE EASY, ALL THE TRIBAL COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE TO DO, IS MAKE A PHONE CALL AND WE'LL HAVE THE ANSWER. I'LL GET BACK TO YOU, WE WERE TOLD.
WE REALIZE THAT THE TRIBAL COUNCIL (MTGA) HAVE A LOT ON THEIR PLATES (AGENDAS.) IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE THAT WITH HARD ECONOMIC TIMES AND BUSINESS DECISIONS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED THAT THINGS FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS.
HOWEVER, WHEN TRIBAL MEMBERS ASK FOR SOMETHNG FOR 4 WEEKS AND THEY DO NOT GET AN ANSWER, THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT RESPONDING TO THE QUESTIONS FROM IT MEMBERSHIP. MAYBE THE MTGA IS JUST FORGETFUL. MAYBE IT IS NOT IMPORTANT TO THE MTGA.
SO THE QUESTION IS, DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS US TO LEASE, RENT OR BUY SLOT MACHINES AT POCONO DOWNS FOR ANY MONTH? DOES ANYONE KNOW?
