The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is asking a federal judge to force the Tohono O'odham Nation to allow an inspection of one of its casinos.
OSHA wants to check out the air quality at the Desert Diamond Casino. But the tribe wouldn't let an inspector inside, according to the lawsuit.
Libby Francisco, the chief operating officer of the Tohono O'odham Gaming Enterprise said OSHA has failed to contact the tribe about its visits. The inspector needs to be accompanied by a tribal gaming official because a certain area of the casino is secure, she said.
