"Twice a week for the last seven months, 27-year-old Tonya Flagg has put $20 in her pocket, hopped on her bike and pedaled three blocks to the 7th Street Casino in downtown Kansas City, Kan.
On Friday, the day after Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline announced that he had the right to shut down the casino, Flagg lamented the loss of what, for her, has become a marginally profitable source of entertainment.
�I was so mad,� she said of when she first heard about the closing. �I said, �You ain't closing that casino. I got Indian in me.'�"
