Opinion
Editorial: No closed meetings on Choctaw casino
Friday, September 21, 2007  

choctaw

"The Jackson County Board of Supervisors and the Mississippi Band of Choctaws are on target to meet in public session next week.

However, public input will not be allowed as the supervisors meet with Choctaw Chief Denson Beasley. This meeting is expected to be for Beasley to lead a presentation on what the tribe expects to do with its property in Jackson County.

The proposal has met opposition from existing casinos in Harrison and Hancock counties. County opposition formed from those who oppose gambling on moral and social grounds.

The 9 a.m. Thursday meeting should allow the Choctaws to explain their intentions. In this session, the public will have to rely on the supervisors to ask the questions. Questioning from the public, hopefully, will come later."
