It drew decidedly mixed reviews. Century Strategies, Ralph Reed's Georgia-based consulting firm, was paid close to 6 million dollars by two of Abramoff's casino-rich tribal clients. A little more than a third of the money was funneled through a "think tank" that Scanlon set up in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, a seaside getaway three hours from Washington. It was run with the help of a lifeguard and a yoga instructor. Six casino-rich Indian tribes paid an astonishing total of 82 million dollars to superlobbyish Jack Abramoff and public relations whiz Michael Scanlon. Abramoff and Scanlon devised a secret a kickback scheme-dubbed "Gimme five"-to split and pocket more than 40 million dollars of these tribal payments. 600 10 $a Abramoff, Jack. 650 0 $a Lobbyists $z Washington (D.C.) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Tiwa Indians $z El Paso $z El Paso $x Economic conditions. 650 0 $a Tiwa Indians $z El Paso $z El Paso $x Government relations. 650 0 $a Casinos $z El Paso. $z El Paso. 650 0 $a Political corruption $z El Paso. $z El Paso. 651 0 $a El Paso (Tex.) $x Economic conditions. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0659/2006016640-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0659/2006016640-d.html 939 $a 5688686 941 $a 7 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926090447.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720020942.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171226032550.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160823074535.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=510B151C2B0D11DE82774608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IO4 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l N5UX522 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
