The Kickapoo already have gaming experience with its reservation’s Golden Eagle Casino, and the tribe purchased an 80-acre tract of land adjacent to the Kansas Speedway-West Village development in 2004, planning to build another casino in Wyandotte County.
The tribe issued a statement Wednesday announcing it had hired architects, a construction company, financial advisers, attorneys and civil engineers to help prepare a proposal. “Voters have confirmed what we have known for over a decade. Gaming is an entertaining and viable industry with substantial revenue opportunity for our communities,” slotmeister Steve Cadue wrote in the statement. Cadue is the Kickapoo Tribe’s chairman, who, when we wrote about him in April, blamed “white man’s greed” for the Kickapoo’s water problems. His tribe will most likely get a chance to take advantage of that now. – Peter Rugg

Peter, man, I don't remember (or am even able to find it at http://www.pitch.com/2007-04-1... the use of the term by our slotmeister, "White Man's Greed" in last April's issue. I saw nothing about greed, never mind White Man's Greed.
In fact, the only reference to a "White" person, is in the story's headline, reading: "In a fight over water rights, Kickapoo Indians give white landowners some of their own medicine." Hrmm, is this some silly attempt to call the Kickapoo greedy?
I bet your job (or at least the part where you have to write about the Kickapoo) would be so much more enjoyable if you were to get your story straight and quit trying to hide behind weak-ass facades.
Man, I want a job at the Pitch; I love making shit up too!
