Indian Gaming

Newspaper says Delaware Tribe of Oklahoma should share more about its plans for Kansas, including whether it will pursue gaming:

It’s only natural that local residents would be curious about the Delaware tribe’s plans for a prominent piece of property near the East Lawrence interchange on the Kansas Turnpike.

Even if tribal leaders aren’t yet sure what they will do with the property, it would be to their advantage to share some additional information with local residents and officials about what they are considering.

The fact that the Delaware tribe had an interest in building a casino in the same general area back in 2000 is bound to spur some speculation among local observers. Added to that are the various negotiations and court actions that have come to light in other parts of the country that raise questions about what goals the tribe is pursuing.
