Message from CFO president Frank Dunphy
I am asking all to please write to their congressman in regards to the Cobell v Salazar Settlement which has a scheduled voting date of Feb. 28th. This proposal has a "back door" Addendum that is the equivalent of a Carcieri "Fix" . If this passes it could lift the Land To Trust restriction, and put the Mashpee Wampanoag's planned Middleboro casino back on track. Glady's Kravitz blog on the CFO website has a great break down in this regard.
Thank You,
Frank Dunphy

Wampanoag Elder Amelia Bingham addresses the Middleboro Board Of Selectmen
Wampanoag Elder Amelia Bingham, age 84, and a founding member
of the Wampanoag Tribal Council came to the Middleboro Selectman's
meeting of 6/5/2007. You would think that this group, who is
about to undertake a monumental casino deal, would be able to
spare several minutes to hear her out.
This was a disgraceful display of disrespect especially after
the red carpet treatment and townwide genuflecting that greeted
Glenn Marshall.
Amelia Bingham is an intelligent, gracious woman who went
out of her way to tell the people of Middleboro a side
of the story that most have not heard. As usual, the
Middleboro leadership was not listening, and even worse,
wouldn't even let the other side speak.
Apologies for the poor audio quality.
It is almost humorous to hear Chairwoman Brunelle trying to
explain that a board item advertised as Draft Agreement With
The Wampanoag was not actually about a draft agreement
with the Wampanoag.
