Sept. 2007: Cates v. CGCC
The testimony is even more troubling given
Qualset's assertion that the Commission accounts for all Fund contributions by
performing "desk reviews" of all quarterly Fund contribution reports submitted by the
tribes to insure the mathematical accuracy of the reports and the proper application of
contribution rates in the Compact to the numbers reported by the tribes. We are at a
loss to understand exactly how the Commission can possibly "insure the mathematical
accuracy of the reports" when "net win" is a critical element in calculating the
contribution amount, but the Commission purportedly does not know how "net win"
is defined. It appears from the evidence presented that the Commission is simply
14
verifying the accuracy of mathematical calculations set forth in the reports submitted
by the tribes without confirming that the numbers used to perform the calculations are
those called for by the Compact. Needless to say, the Commission cannot collect and
account for Fund contributions and collect and analyze the reports submitted by the
tribes without knowing the definition of "net win."
