The Minnesota Democratic Farmer-Labor Party with a super-majority sticks it to workers, again.

Representing casino workers engaged in union organizing campaigns in the Indian Gaming Industry, I pay close attention to elections on Indian Reservations as I do with politics in general in the three states I work in--- Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Many Indian Reservations just held their Primary Elections.

Each and every Indian Reservation engaged in gaming is now thoroughly corrupt and crooked; just like the state and federal governments they work with, hand-in-hand. Like with politics generally, seldom is found an honest tribal politician.

We have a crisis in this country confronting working class families - one that politicians and the media refuse to acknowledge.

It's the "cost-of-living crisis."
