Muscogee Nation committee to take up disputed casino plan

Tuesday, December 11, 2012  

Leaders of the Muscogee Nation of Oklahoma could approve a casino deal by the end of the week, The Tulsa World reports.

The tribe is being asked to operate a casino on an Indian allotment near Tulsa. The deal calls for the tribe to receive 70 percent of the revenue -- estimated to be between $15 million and $25 million a year.

The Kialegee Tribal Town tried to open a casino on the allotment but a federal judge blocked the plan. The case is before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
