Suit filed to stop Seminole Tribe's compact
House Speaker Marco Rubio, a Republican, filed a lawsuit today to invalidate the Seminole Tribe's Class III gaming compact. Rubio claims Gov. Charlie Crist (R) exceeded his authority by signing a 25-year agreement with the tribe. He says the state Legislature should have final approval over the deal. The tribe will share $50 million up front and at least $100 million a year with the state. The tribe already announced a $120 million expansion of its Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa.
