I was just listening to County Executive Collins' view that the shutdown may have less to do with the local economy and more with other concerns of the investors that are backing the Senecas. Considering the timing of the shutdown order it may be that the those investors feel that the current lawsuit has possible merit and therefore they don't simply want to put up any more $ until this issue is finally settled.
Of course the lawsuit doesn't involve the Allegany operation but the funding for both projects may be tied together. If that's the case then a separate funding deal for Allegany may be needed.
The only lawsuit that should be around is the one the Indians should be filing today to get every penny back they've already spent on this project including legal fees and sue the crap out of the idiots in charge that "made" them build in Buffalo in the first place instead of Cheektowaga

They promote LOTTO because are there to help our schools. Only problem is... the schools never see any of it! Politics as usual. I am sick and tired hearing about the casino. I am not for or against but now that the Seneca's have started to build.. let them finish. Too late to turn back now.

Your right, I'm still waiting for my school taxes to go away because the proceeds from the lottery were to go to schools. Instead they go up?

bumpy economic times, damn straight. But let's be real... These injuns care about nothing but their own pockets and self serving. Their the new BLOOD SUCKERS. If they cared about the common folk they would be building health centers, social centers, etc. Casino's and Gas Stations forever...Take a ride on the REZ, one or two decent homes, the rest are glorified refrigerator boxes at best. Their ignorant and a pain in the A**.

All those construction workers and their union should be picketing in front of Joel Rose's home and Dick Lippes law office.

Let's go union! Do your stuff! The Wendt foundation and it's stoolies have taken jobs away from the union workers.

Absolutely right... they do not care or take care of their own people. We call it the "Indian Maifia". We actually met a couple that were thrown out of their home on the water by the Seneca Nation. the couple, by the way, are Indians. Reason is, one of the big shot's wanted to build a home for their son and new wife in that location. No one ever hears this type of stuff in the news! Once I heard that, I lost any respect I ever had for the Seneca Nation.

The Wendt Corp. has cause nothing but problem in Buffalo.All they do is stop Buffalo from getting ahead. Who's paying them.They try and get control of the people in Buffalo and want them down and out,so they have to work for cheap labor and they can fell there pockets and eat well while other people live in the streets from day to day, homeless and in bread line. Theres only 1 person working at the small office at the Wendt corp. They should put some people to work or help social service with the aid for people they just put out of work. The county can use the help.

This country should do whatever is reasonable to help the American Indians because of the way the filthy British screwed them over.

It is a good start that we let them have casinos and let them sell tax free cigrettes and gasoline.

The next thing we should do for them is let them legally sell recreational drugs. They should be allowed to sell marijuana, cocaine, heroin, mushrooms, LSD, whatever.

And they should be allowed to set up in corner stores in the city and suburbs instead of making their doped up scumbag customers drive out to the reservation.

you sound so dumb. Why should the seneca's build stuff to suit your white **** needs? We are building health centers and so forth. THey are just for us, that's all. By the way, trying to get rid of the refrigerator boxes as well. Your so knowledgable, learn a thing or two before you speak. It's not our fault we have to live in trailers. Jerk.

Oh and by the way, Walmart is the same way. They have a business but none of their profit comes back to the town they are in. Why not call them BLOOD SuCKERS? U are just prejudice.

If a Casino for gambleing is illegal in downtown Buffalo, then it's illegal in downtown Niagara Falls and Syracue. The land was purchase the same way and for the same reason.If they close the one in Buffalo they have to close the one in Niagara Fall and Syracue and any other city in New york State.New York State made a agreement with the Indians that 3 casino had to be built in Western New york. 1 in Syracue, 1 in Niagara Falls, and 1 in Buffalo. Now a Federal Judge say Buffalo Casino for gambleing is illegal. WHY Buffalo and not they others? Because a small group of people say it is. they cann't make any money out of it.Someone paying off someone.The Judge?The Federal goverment shoud investigate someone, like tax payer money being spent on looking at some projects and nothing being done. Tax payers money setting up a private business { Bass Pro} and grants that are used for other illegal projusts, and put in someone pocket. Someone is trying to keep Buffalo down and lining up there pockets to do so.DON"T TRUST ANYONE WATCH YOU BACK
