FAFO - Trump's payback veto has the tribe on the warpath...

 The Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act would have added the Osceola Camp, a small village of members of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, to the reservation in the Everglades. It would have also taken steps to protect the camp from flooding risks. Currently, the land is a special-use permitted area in Everglades National Park.

In the veto, Trump said the tribe "has actively sought to obstruct reasonable immigration policies that the American people decisively voted for when I was elected." The tribe is a plaintiff in a suit against the federal government and the state of Florida, arguing the state failed to conduct an environmental review on the land where Alligator Alcatraz is located. An environmental study is required to comply with federal laws.

 

The Osceola Camp is nothing more than a small, out of the way tourist trap that contributes nothing to region, has unlimited tax-free status, and, to be realistic, is a bit of a shithole. The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida owns a casino and is far from poor by any definition. 

Payback's a bitch, wouldn'tcha say, Tonto?
