Hey, tony, we heard from one tribal source today who put it bluntly. He said theyre keeping all of their Legal Options open. And if they have to go to court, they will have a good case. Theyre not the only ones with the options. Utah, new mexico and colorado, they are keeping their option open too.

Being near a stroke unit makes a big difference. Having people around i did see the movie, concussion. Its one of the strange movies where i knew just about everybody in it, being from pittsburgh.
