Translation: We want to open a casino
[Plus, maybe some building sites for Lume to set up pot-sell operations without having to go through localities' governing bodies for permission to do so.]

Odd thing in that article you quote (using the same headline they did), it's not about the Odawa tribe at all (aside from the title, the only time the word appears in the article at all is when describing the LTBB as one of the bands that is federally recognized...); it's about the Grand River Bands (GRB) of Ottawa Indians.

Good thing too because the Odawa have casinos in Petoskey and Mackinaw City

And there's a Lume right by the Mackinaw City casino.

...and another 2 in p-town...

1 on the 31-north end of town; the other in the parking lot of the tribe's hotel on 131 south of town...

Rumor has it the tribe's rent charges to Lume at each location are a percentage of monthly Lume sales, which is quite a tidy $$$ sum.

I didn’t know Mackinaw City had a casino now. That’s horrible.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

The MC casino has been there for almost 7 years now, and is rather small compared to their mothership in Petoskey.

And by bilking poor saps out of a few bucks at the casino, the tribe will help end poverty by spending all those profits on things like this:

$1.08 per dick, or did they take out taxes?

Good point.

I'm just saying I got $1.12 per to do them in a row.
