These days, the haughty rich in our country have developed such an arrogant sense of entitlement that they’ve gone from being merely irritating to infuriating.

(Courtesy Shinnecock Indian Nation) The Shinnecock Nation announced Wednesday that it will begin work this summer on a 76,000-square-foot casino located on its 800-acre territory just west of Southampton Village. The casino, envisioned as potentially the first of many such facilities across the state, would be outfitted with 1,000 video lottery terminals and 30 tables limited to Texas Hold ’Em poker games. It was overwhelmingly approved by a tribal vote in December, according to Shinnecock Tribal Council Chairman Bryan Polite, and has already been approved by the National Indian Gaming Commission, allowing it move forward pending an environmental review by that commission. Local zoning rules would not be in play on tribal territory.
