  Kurt Luger, executive director of the Great Plains Indian Gaming Association in Bismarck, N.D., said he was "absolutely, very surprised" by the hearing.The problems of regulatory authority in Indian gaming had been hashed out in the previous Congress, he said, when Republicans were the majority party and both chambers, the Senate and House of Representatives, hosted efforts to overhaul IGRA.With Democrats narrowly in the majority now in the current Congress, "We thought we would be able to not have to deal with this [in] this session," Luger said in an interview after the hearing.
  
  Tribal and state governments, under terms of the gaming compacts negotiated between them, already do a good job of regulating Indian gaming, he added.

  That is the way we see it," Luger said.

  ...
  Luger said at a recent meeting of the Great Plains tribes, 36 people did not respond when asked when the last NCAI legislative update was provided to them.
  
  "But by God, we get the bulletin that says it's time to come to the annual meeting.How can that be?"All the elected officials in here are going to have to make tough choices.What can we do best for these large land-based tribes?You are forcing that choice on us," Luger said.
  ...
  "That's why we are good and ticked off," Luger said.
  
  Luger emphasized his point by telling the group that the newly elected Republican governor of North Dakota will meet with Wisconsin Gov.
  ...
  I'm telling you, if people in your corner, and I'm talking regional and a few others, don't wake up, they will wake up without this outfit in their outfit," Luger told Masten.
  ...
  We can't afford some of the mistakes that are going on out there, it's killing us," Luger said.
