"At a minimum, a lawsuit by Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt against the Kialegee Tribal Town, over its right to build a casino near the Creek Expressway in Broken Arrow, frames the federal issues and gets them before a legal forum.
Even if Pruitt's bid to stop the Red Clay Casino proves premature, the move still will help define a complicated issue that so far has been heavy on emotion and light on answers.
Pruitt is seeking to stop the 400-member tribe from building the new gaming facility and asks a judge to determine if a lease arrangement is legal."
