The casino is still open, but it has been announced thru newspaper of it's closing. They are trying to fight it,but the one in El Paso lost it battle thru the appeals process. I know the Chief and several tribe members went to Washington to met with various Rep--House and SEnate.

The whole issue is the wording in the tribes contract with the state many years ago. The tribe said it would not have any gambling as long it was illegal in the state. Since then the state has voted in Lottery and Scrach offs. So is gambling illegal in the state???

The other side of it is the state attorney general is going to run for a US Representative seat, so he is trying for the strong christian vote here.
