Norfolk, VA Approves Tribal Land Sale

Despite citizens' pleas, the Norfolk, Virginia City Council has voted to sell waterfront acreage to the Pamunkey Indian Tribe for a $700 million casino resort. In response, a group has announced it will launch a petition drive to stop the sale. Mayor Kenny Alexander (l.) denies the process was “rushed.” The venue would offer at least 750 slots, 25 table games, a luxury hotel, upscale dining and entertainment facility.
