Oklahoma Tribes Respond To Governor’s Proposal

The leaders of Oklahoma's five most powerful Native American tribes, including Bill Anoatubby (l.), governor, Chickasaw Nation, approved a resolution denouncing Governor Kevin Stitt's plan to renegotiate tribal gaming compacts. Stitt wants to reexamine Oklahoma's exclusivity fees, which he said are the lowest in the nation. The tribes claim the compacts should automatically renew when they expire on January 1, 2020. Stitt disagrees.
