Editorial: Taking action to halt Kialegee Tribal Town casino

Friday, February 24, 2012  

"Attorney General Scott Pruitt has not only voiced his opposition to a casino in Broken Arrow, he is taking actions to correct this injustice.

That stands in stark contrast to a host of city and national politicians who say they oppose the casino and yet have taken no steps that have a chance of halting its opening.

Pruitt filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Tulsa against Kialegee Tribal King Tiger Hobia and others to stop construction of the Red Clay Casino at 111th Street and 129th East Avenue in Broken Arrow.

Even without the approval of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the tribe and its nontribal partners are busy preparing the site for gambling operations."
