A city council member in Tulsa, Oklahoma, claims another tribal gaming facility is coming to the area.
Phil Laskin told The Tulsa World he's heard "solid rumors" about a casino on an Indian allotment. But no one has confirmation from the heirs of the landowner, a member of the Muscogee Nation who died last year.
"We don't allow strip clubs to be built next to schools and churches," Laskin told the paper. "Do we want other adult entertainment activities like casinos to be built too closely to our neighborhoods, right in the middle of our neighborhoods?"
The land currently houses a smoke shop
