The Political Page, T+33 -- February 22, 2017

Worth repeating:


DAPL casino: everything you ever wanted to know about the two casinos at Standing Rock Reservation. Data points:
  • Standing Rock Reservation operates two casinos
    • Prairie Knights, near Cannon Ball, ND
    • Grand River Casino, near Mobridge, SD
  • Prairie Knights: played host to the DAPL protesters (is it "protesters" or "protestors"? -- see The Atlantic) -- bottom line: both are correct; one is preferred
  • Prairie Knights: annual intake, past two years
    • 2016: $8 million
    • 2015: $14 million
  • $6 million from #NoDAPL donations will be moved to reservation's general operating fund
Eviction deadline: 2:00 p.m. Central Time, February 22, 2017; deadline won't be extended by BLM; we'll wait for the presidential tweet.

San Jose flooding. First time in its history.
