I live across the border to the east from Integrity and I have been watching all of this very very carefully. (The Natives are planning on building another casino less than 10 miles from where I live.)
The Native Casino Tribes backed this ‘new’ law against online ‘gaming’ in Washington with millions in ‘donations’ and ‘favors’ to elected/non-elected officials. The Natives don’t want the competition from us and they have the money and the elected officials in their pockets.
I think once the general public in Washington state gets wind of this, the corrupt elected and non-elected official that were bought by the native casinos to push this dumb ass law through will be heading for cover, hopefully those corrupt officials will be headed to jail.
But it does look bad, very bad, in my opinion.
BTW – how are the Washington police going to enforce this law…. Are they going to start kicking in doors and checking what people are doing on their computers at random… or are they just going to expand the illegal warentless wire tapping…
