July 20, 2010: Diversion of State Money CRIT

The language of the compact is plain and direct. "Federally recognized tribes that are operating fewer than 350 Gaming Devices are Non Compact Tribes." There is no language stating on which side of a State boundary the gaming devices must be. There is no language that states there must be jurisdiction over the gaming devices. It is a request for a number, a verifiable number. CRIT has 475 gaming devices; Fort Mojave has 1,100 gaming devices, verifiable in the Tribes' Arizona Tribal State Compact or through the Arizona Department of Gaming.
