“we feel like it's really important to work together, um, as tribes and with TCC, um, to negotiate the best rate that we can, um, so that, um, like Rebecca said, when they come and look for comparables in the region that we're not, uh, setting the bar too low, um, for everyone.”

We've talked a lot. Well, and I guess that's when, you know, I was reached out about joining this panel, and we've talked a lot about the need to really push back back on this. Um, our tribe is happy to negotiate, um, a rate, but there should be reasons behind why we're doing that. And, um, we feel like it's really important to work together, um, as tribes and with TCC, um, to negotiate the best rate that we can, um, so that, um, like Rebecca said, when they come and look for comparables in the region that we're not, uh, setting the bar too low, um, for everyone. So, um, that was all I had.
