Pastors in Jackson County will oppose the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians' proposed off-reservation casino.
The pastors met near the site of the proposed casino in Ocean Springs, more than 200 miles from the reservation. They said gaming will hurt families and lead to addiction.
The tribe wants 100 acres near Interstate 57 placed in trust. The tribe needs local, state and federal approval in order to proceed
