Editorial: Kialegee Tribal Town is an 'intruder' with casino

Monday, April 16, 2012  

"The Kialegee Tribal Town might someday prevail and open its Red Clay Casino in Broken Arrow. That, however, is far from a certainty - this is uncharted legal territory - and even if the tribe does win it will have stepped over a lot of bodies to get to the finish line.

The casino, sited in a famously conservative community, is an unwelcome intruder. A petition, signed by 10,000 residents, as well as angry public hearings attest to the unpopularity of the project, which is uncomfortably close to schools and neighborhoods.

The Tulsa-area congressional delegation opposes the project and has taken steps to stop it or at least get clarification on its legality."
