You may be interested to know that this casino boat was involved in another "accident" being ripped apart in hurricane Rita. Currently, there is a lawsuit ongoing to determine who gets the proceeds of the insurance settlement from that problem. The new partners, Bill Bayba and the LDF Tribe are suing Charles Cato for the million dollars that was the second part of 1.3 million that was to go to Charles. Perhaps the Democrat might do a story on that untold chapter.

The only hope for the tribe right now is some federal and state investigations and indictments. Once the crooks are taken out of the picture then maybe Natchez will be able to move forward. I have a feeling that there will be nothing but horror stories for the months to come.

There are approx. 3500 tribal members total. We have a constitution that is supposed to be our guiding light. There are around 1700 members that are of voting age. According to the constitution and bylaws, anything expenditure over $10,000 is to go to referendum vote. Not one dime going into this project was ever put up for the people to decide, and the majority of decisions were made by Carl Edwards.
His most recent decision was to give our voting rights to this project to Bill Bayba. We have no say so in where our money goes or is spent. See why Bayba says the things he does? If the ND deletes my comment because they think it is not factual, they need to check this fact with the Mississippi gaming commission.
Would your city government get away with something like this? Would you citizens not rise up in protest? I hope that your voices join with ours over these wrongs. Because if you don't and these people continue in the same way they are doing things in Wisconsin, our problems are soon to be your problems. If they aren't already. Were you aware that most of the construction people were brought in from out of town? How is that for being friendly to your new neighbors.........

Niijii means friend in Ojibwe. So what I guess that means was "White Friend"
I didn't get to see what they wrote, but I am sure that it was something that one of the partners down south did not want out in the open. Partners meaning Bill Bayba or one of his cronies... One of my comments got deleted the other day, and I am sure that I said nothing offensive either. The things that people do not want discussed in the open are the issues that should concern you.

I originally did not post anything offensive, but it did touch someone politically connected. I also suggested that the Mississippi gaming commission is not doing their best in overseeing this project, and so I am sure that the politically connected people do not want this information out. Perhaps this story needs to get out to your legislators and other media sources, so that things cannot be so hidden. A town such as yours does deserve honest, decent people.

This Natchez Casino is also the main reason a tribe in Wisconsin is bankrupt, along with major political fallout. There was a takeover staged a few weeks ago, and there is a major protest happening right at the moment. Make sure to see the big cop with the mace.
