Per TW FB post: WASHINGTON – A Broken Arrow property has not been termed eligible for Indian gaming at this time, a top federal official assured Rep. John Sullivan and Sen. Tom Coburn... Not sure it it continues with "yet". |

Maybe that'$ not the only thing moving right now. Sofar everyone in authority is saying everything EXCEPT that it wont happen. Not Sullivan, not Tiger, not the Broken Arrow city haul. It's like a cat playing with a wounded mouse. Wonder how that will end. |

Neither BA nor Oklahoma have a say. The NIGC will have the final say (and then probably a federal court) and it is getting lots of pressure from all sides.

"The Kialegee has attempted to set up land for gaming three times in Georgia and also in Texas, and have been unsuccessful."
How and why their casinos failed in other states might be interesting to know.

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Baloney. You can't bypass the constitution no matter how far right you are or how much you must pander to those BA creeps.
Property rights....ironically, they are what we stole from this Indian Nation in the first place.

Nah, we just made sort of a land swap.  The Kialegee Tribal Town doesn't have a jurisdictional authority in the Broken Arrow area and never was in the area until this land deal came about. It seems incongruous to me that a tribal town which is primarily in the Holdenville/Wewoka/Weleetka/Wetumka area (doing some checking, their "jurisdictional area falls into McIntosh, Hughes, and Okfuskee counties) can simply make a lease deal with a Creek member who has an allotment and construct a casino wherever they see fit. Apparently, they were shut down on trying essentially the same thing in Georgia last year. I'd heard that on the radio the other day and can't source a print article to read more into it. Aside from that, there's still a question as to whether or not the tribe has gotten approval from the Indian Gaming Commission in the first place. I have no problem with a tribe going about this legally, but it sounds like they are still pretty far out of bounds. |

The plan to bring land-based gaming to Georgia, where it is prohibited, didn't sit well with some legislators.
The Brunswick News reported Jan. 16 that Senate Bill 62 was introduced last year that would make it more difficult to establish sovereign lands in Georgia. http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=685&articleid=20120211_11_A1_CUTLIN288921
