there are some security jobs around the metro that pay in the $15+ range, but the ones I've checked out want LE or military experience, I applied anyway, but I haven't heard from any of them, found the casinos pay on avg. the highest in this part on the state, most don't even require the person be licensed, I am so I ask for better starting pay and have got it in the past.
if you think the casino security gets paid low wages, its on par and in some cases higher than what most counties pay its deputies, I took the gamming commission job cause it paid more than what my security supervisors was making and I got better/cheaper family med/dent/vis ins. and vacation and sick time(1 day each/month) on top of alloted one week plus I worked for the tribe, this new gov. that took over in june changed all of that and put us back under the casino general mgt.
One thing I am learning is how the laws and casinos/tribe interact, gonna help me alot when I run for gov. in a few years, I been researching how the tribe/casino can prosicute theft from them, since for the most part they can't prosicute anybody thats not indian, but for theft there a law CFR title 18 that will allow prosicution for anyone for theft of $5 or more, its got a hell of a fine, for $5-$1000 the penalty is a fine up to $100,000 and/or 20yrs imprisionment, for amounts greater than $1000 the penalty is a fine of no less than $100,000 nor greater than $250,000 and/or 20yrs inprisionment, thing about it though is that the tribal police have to push it to the BIA and the BIA will push it through the federal system, but the tribal police answer to the tribal gov. so he's not going to allow them to do their job,
there has to be an honest gov in office for the tribe to move forward, thing about being honest and following P&P is that your probably only going to be elected to one 2 year term, but thats the only way I can see myself being, gotta make examples outta the theifs and fuckoffs and start running the place like a buisiness to make as much money as possible, not like the mom and pop shop its being run like now, I'll be surprised if T-Bird doesn't close its doors by first of summer.
anyway with the passing of HB712 and the resulting state/tribal compact, these indian casinos are a passing fad, they'll eventually be taxed outta buisiness by the state, through their shortsightedness and greed the tribal governments have pretty much killed their future gamming oppertunities, already by signing 712 they've had to start paying taxes on not only gamming revinues but also gas and ciggerettes, and the state is going to ammend laws to increase their taxes in Feb. by ammending the Johnson Act, since the tribes agreed to follow all applical state laws on gamming, the state doesn't have to negotiate the compact, they just change the laws and if the tribes want to continue gamming then they have to comply.
some of the people in my tribe that were pushing everyone to vote for 712 are now saying that the tribes were "tricked" into signing, I like to tell them to STFU, that if they wern't so blinded by greed they would have "read" farther than the first paragraph of the compact, I read the rough draft of the compact last year and its pretty much the same as what was voted in, I was telling everybody that would listen that it was a bad deal for the tribes but very few took the warning, what 712 did essentally was sign away what rights we have as a soverign nation, in 6 to 8 years they'll be regular "Vegas" style casinos/gambling here in the state that few tribal casinos will be able to compeat with(theres already casinos at the horse tracks) and in 10 to 15 years the tribes will lose their soverign rights, they'll be paying the state taxes for everything including property.
well enough of my whinning, I'm starting to sound like Rat.
