It looks like Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians is dissatisfied with the impact their lobbyist, IETAN CONSULTING is having for them in Washington D.C.
In checking their lobbying spending on Open Secrets, we find that secondary lobbyist AKIN GUMP (no relation to Forrest Gump) is getting a big chunk of Pechanga Money this year.
AKIN GUMP's MONEY FROM PECHANGA
2011 $40,000
2012 $50,000 (+25%)
2013 $360,000 (+720%)
While the company of Mark Macarro's wife, Holly Cook Macarro, IETAN CONSULTING, seems to have suffered.
IETAN CONSULTING's MONEY FROM PECHANGA
2011 $240,000
2012 $240,000
2103 $120,000
Now it may be that yearly totals are not updated yet, which would mean that Pechanga's lobbying spending would reach $600,000 this year. To what end?
As we discussed in a previous post, our trip to Washington DC showed that according to Senator Boxer's person, Holly Macarro wrote the bill for Pechanga. Is that even LEGAL? Does Pechanga now think high powered lobbying firm AkinGump is better equipped to help Pechanga steal water from reservation allottees/landowners? Food for thought.

How much goes to the BIA to either look the other way, or to screw families...or BOTH?
Call Frances Muncie and ask her.
She is the one that is so far up Smith ass that when he yawns you can see her forehead.
