WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2002 An Oklahoma lawmaker who has challenged Indian policies plans to introduce a bill to end the tribal Class II gaming monopoly. Rep. Wayne Pettigrew, a Republican from Edmond, said private companies should be allowed to offer the same types of games as tribes. He wants to authorize bingo, bingo-like games and pari-mutuel racing at racetracks. Pettigrew opposes a lottery because he says tribes will be able to offer more lucrative Class III games if one is legalized. He has said he wants to introduce a blood quantum bill affecting Oklahoma tribes. Get the Story:
