Cherokee, Chickasaw and Choctaw nations file federal lawsuit over tribal gaming compact dispute

Yes, we have. This has been going on for months and months. It has become increasingly clear in recent weeks that neither side is going to go back. This case will end in federal court. In this case, the Cherokee, Chickasaw and Choctaw nations are asking a federal judge to agree to the Tribal Gaming Compact automatically renewing at midnight tonight. In this letter to the Governor today, the leaders of the nations who wrote these offers say that your continued rejection of this high-threshold framework has made progress impossible and that your words and threatening actions have left us with no plausible option but to sue. Strong compacts signed 15 years ago allowed tribes to offer casino gambling like slot machines in Oklahoma. Governor Stitt wants tribes to pay a higher percentage of their revenues for lodging fees. Governor Stitt wants tribes to pay a higher percentage of their revenues for lodging fees. The tribes think they have leverage because they say it will automatically renew at midnight. In another verse, the tribes say, "The state offered the tribes a compact on its terms, and the tribes accepted the offer. The tribes have no plans to shut down the casino tomorrow. Governor Stitt reports - Response to this lawsuit I am disappointed that many Oklahoma tribes, led by state officials, did not accept the state's October 28 offer of a three-person arbitration panel to resolve our disputes out of court. I will remain laser-focused on achieving a fair agreement and an outcome that is in the best interest of our state and its people. This was the offer Stitt made to everyone.
