with Jenni Wildcat and Senator Daines on setting up a group to move forward on working out best practices. Jason Giles – We are still working the Labor Act. We are trying to get it going in the Senate. Senator Moran is still looking for a way to advance it. We need to get it through the Senate because on the House side, Speaker Pelosi will be adamantly against it. Chairman Ernest Stevens - We do our best to be non-partisan while being as direct yet respectful as we can. We cannot give up on this Administration. I continue to be an advocate for open dialogue. We need to continue to reach out and educate them. Greg Abrahamson – Do we have money in our budget to help fight off any attack on tribal sovereignty? Do we have a good list of bullet points that we can give to our representatives? Chairman Ernest Stevens - Yes, but we are in the process of building it. We need to establish some support documents. We do have materials available, but we will work on putting it into one document. Jason Giles – We don’t have a war chest, but we do have reserves to help with a public relations battle if need be. On the other issue, we have to handle it differently between the House and Senate. It’s a very tricky legislative environment right now. Danielle Her Many Horses – we do have talking points in our issue summary and we can develop talking points on any other issue within a 24-hour turnaround time. David Bean – We do have a responsibility to engage with the folks in this administration as often as we can. I encourage everybody to reach out to Tyler Fish at the White House. Verlon Jose – It would be helpful if those talking points were sent out to everybody. Is this one of the top two things we want to focus on because there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed. Jason Giles – Our top issues are still gaming related. We are currently working on the Labor act and Sports Betting. This includes the DOJ wire act. The other top issues are the letter that Mark brought up and tax issues. The tax issue is hot right now. If they want to move something before Christmas, we really need to be talking about it now.
