NMPolitics.net - Gov. Susana Martinez says she’s skeptical of a proposal to build an off-reservation casino in Anthony, but that doesn’t mean she’s decided to oppose it. “I’m not convinced that it’s the best thing to do right now, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be convinced,” Martinez told NMPolitics.net on Tuesday. NMPolitics.net requested the interview to seek clarification on Martinez’s stance. That’s because she was quoted by the Las Cruces Sun-News as saying she doesn’t support the casino proposal but is hoping the federal government will make the decision on whether to allow it.

Why would anyone representing the people allow a sovereign entity to invade our commerce system and deliberately allow their tax exempt status to put those of us who pay taxes and are at a distinct disadvantage, cost wise, to drive those of us out of business who sell a competing product? If the Indians were willing to waive ALL their tax and administrative cost advantages and compete on a TOTALLY level playing field I would agree to consider their application for a New Mexico gaming permit as I would for any other group or entity that applies. Absent their waiver of ALL the benefits conveyed to them as a sovereign, the answer should be a resounding, "NO".
