No. The Chumash machine will stop it at all costs. If you do not believe this, ask Das der Wunderkid to stop taking money from the Shooms.
Das has little or no influence in this. The Chumash are not in the same market as Vegas. Vegas clients don’t consider Santa Ynez a “destination.” Santa Barbara can fill a few charter flights to Vegas, but hasn’t enough gamblers to justify scheduled service.
As the dog days of summer wear on I have watched a few major league baseball games. One thing I noticed was that every stadium advertised what seem certainly Tribal Casinos. The power of these casinos to control competition has waned only slightly since the corrupt days of Abromoff. Do not underestimate the ability of this money to influence local decision makers–Das is a politician I normally respect but he has no perspective on how bad his pandering to the Chumash is and how it will probably come back hard.
Das knows exactly what kind of campaign contributions he can expect from the Chumash when he makes his run for Hannah-Beth’s seat. Will be the shortest length supervisor in Santa Barbara herstory.
