An Oklahoma state lawmaker is hosting a community forum tonight to discuss the Shawnee Tribe's proposed casino in Oklahoma City.
State Rep. Mike Shelton, a Democrat, said the public has until Friday to tell the Bureau of Indian Affairs what they think about the project. Shelton's district includes the casino site.
Oklahoma's racetrack agency and some members of Congress oppose the project. The 104-acre gaming site is 1.7 miles from the Remington Park racetrack.
The tribe, which was recognizedby an act of Congress in 2000, wants the BIA to place the land in trust.
