'Political suicide' over Mississippi Choctaw casino
Wednesday, March 21, 2007

The mayor of Ocean Springs says she may be committing "political suicide" for publicly supporting the off-reservation casino sought by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.

Mayor Connie Moran thinks the casino will have a positive impact on the community. But she said the tribe needs to explain how it will address the impacts of a gaming facility.

Chief Phillip Martin says the tribe won't move forward without the support of Jackson County. He asked the county to schedule a non-binding referendum in 2008.

The tribe owns 100 acres in the Ocean Springs, more than 200 miles from the reservation. The site is located near a major interstate.
