Cherokee Nation fights Arkansas casino license revocation

A federal court is set to decide whether officials from Local Voters in Charge and a public affairs firm must release documents related to an Arkansas amendment that revoked Cherokee Nation Entertainment’s casino license. The Cherokee Nation argues that the amendment violated constitutional rights by not disclosing its impact. The group behind the measure contends the requests are irrelevant. The case continues in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
