Lobbyists for the proposed Warm Springs casino in the Columbia River Gorge community claim it's a 40 mile commute from where tribal residents live to the proposed off-reservation casino site.

Is it?

  • did you notice he started off the rez and ended off the rez...lmao must be scared to actually start in warm springs!!

  • Not sure about that, but for the sake of argument go ahead and shave 15 minutes off the commute if you like... it's still unreasonable.

  • i heard they were gonna do a shuttle anyways so why does this commute matter?

  • Unless it's a space shuttle, that's still an awfully long time. The Bureau of Indian Affairs's guidelines say that if an off-reservation casino is to be built, it must be within a reasonable commute - that way, the tribe benefits with new employment opportunities without sacrificing four hours each day to get to work.

  • that guy has to much time on his hand try drivin it at the other end of the reservation

  • Unfortunately, that's not where most people who would be working at the casino live.

  • we don't have enough pampered boston actors.

  • welcome to OR haters

  • FIRST OF ALL YOU DIDNT START IN WARM SPRINGS!!! SECOND OF ALL YOU TOOK THA LONG WAY!! DUMB SHEIAPPO

  • i agree

  • Most people who would be working at the casino live in Cascade Locks and Hood River. Must tribal members commute from the Reservation? That would be a "Stay on the reservation, Injun!" argument if I ever heard one. Wasqupum, Kamiltpam, Wyampum and Powanputpum (enrolled as Warm Springs or Yakama) are Columbia River people from the word go -- for 10,000+ years. I think the BIA should annex Hood River and Cascade Locks into a rez just to piss these anti-NDN folks off. HE HE HE
