Tea Party supports Tohono O'odham off-reservation casino

Monday, April 11, 2011

The Glendale Tea Party Patriots are supporting the Tohono O'odham Nation off-reservation casino.

The group wants the city of Glendale to drop its lawsuit against the casino. The city has spent $1.3 million on the case, which it lost last month.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs wants to place 54 acres in trust for the tribe by May 16. The city is trying to annex the property without the tribe's consent.
