...for Mr. Sammy Sockpuppet, Sam Cohen. Maybe he just wanted to join the club and acquire a criminal record? Maybe it's a status thing on the reservation? After all, how many people can say they have an attorney that beat his wife out in front of the Chumash Casino. There was also ex-Chumash Chairman - Gilbert Cash, who tried to strangle his wife, so maybe it is the water? What a great group of role models these folks are for youngsters in the Santa Ynez Valley eh? These are the people the governor of California chooses to do business with. And Sam Cohen is the guy that shook his finger and lectured James Lynch about the Chumash, and attempted to lampoon Lynch's credentials. From the Santa Ynez Valley Journal:
Chumash attorney arrested for domestic violence
Archive » December 14, 2007
The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians’ attorney, Sam Cohen, and his wife were arrested at the Chumash Casino Dec. 12 after police responded to a domestic disturbance call. According to the county Sheriff’s department, Trina Cohen was arrested for being drunk in public, while Sam was arrested for domestic violence. Trina was taken to the Santa Barbara County Jail and Sam to an alternate holding facility. The couple was believed to have been attending an anniversary party for Chumash Magazine when they clashed over a social issue. Witnesses said they believed at least one of the Cohens was taken to a hospital for examination before being transported to jail.

I remember reading an article that said Gilbert Cash was the vice-chairman. The article was in the LA Times.
I believe that it is a bad idea to give people with no education large sums of money. They simply have not been trained and have not had good examples as children on how to spend money the smart way and how to earn it. If you don't feel you have earned something you can never feel content.
