Alabama Tribe Seeks Exclusive Gaming Rights

A new gambling expansion plan launched by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians of Alabama would generate $1 billion for the state in its first year through a compact granting exclusive Class III gaming rights and two new destination casinos, the tribe says. A campaign called Winning for Alabama also responded to an opponent’s "misinformation" campaign. Stephanie Bryan (l.), chairwoman and CEO, says the deal would improve the quality of life in Alabama.
