This Federal court case was necessary for the following reasons: 1. Trust status confers unlimited and pre-approved change of land use. 2. Tribal businesses (casinos, farming business, event center) have no legal accountability for persons affected by the tribe’s actions. 3. Trust status transfers the land use authority from the county and state to the tribe – more trust taking – more control of surface and ground water. 4. Trust status diminishes the political process and makes public officials less effective. This promotes a stronger and stronger parallel government.
