"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

In the Mashpee Enterprise, the new Mashpee leadership tries a new spin on jurisdiction, deeds, and Indian Districts.

Carver Chick reverses the spin.

Are the new bosses the same as the old bosses minus the handcuffs and restraining orders?

More from Bumpkin and more from CFO upon further analysis.
