City knew about Kialegee Tribal Town casino bid even earlier

Monday, March 5, 2012  

Officials in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, knew about the Kialegee Tribal Town casino as far back as June 2011, according to newly released documents.

An e-mail to the city's economic development director dated June 27, 2011, gives the first indication of the project. A few days later, city councilors were told about a "casino development."

City officials previously said they weren't aware of the casino until December 2011 and January of this year.
